(Go) ETrade OAuth1 Authorization (3-legged) Step 1

Demonstrates the first step in 3-legged OAuth1 authorization for the ETrade REST API. This example sends an HTTP request to the "request token URL" to get a request token that begins the OAuth1 process. (See https://apisb.etrade.com/docs/api/authorization/request_token.html )

This example uses the sandbox request token URL. The live request token URL would be "https://api.etrade.com/oauth/request_token".

    // Note: This example uses the sandbox request token URL.
    // The live Get Request Token Request URL is:

    // The next step is to form a URL to send to the authorizeUrl
    // This is an HTTP GET that we load into a popup browser.

    sbUrlForBrowser.Append(*requestToken)
    url := sbUrlForBrowser.GetAsString()

    // At this point, your application should load the URL in a browser.
    // For example, 
    // in C#: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url);
    // in Java: Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new URI(url));
    // in VBScript: Set wsh=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    //              wsh.Run url
    // in Xojo: ShowURL(url)  (see http://docs.xojo.com/index.php/ShowURL)
    // in Dataflex: Runprogram Background "c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" sUrl        
    // The Microsoft account owner would interactively accept or deny the authorization request.

    // Add the code to load the url in a web browser here...
    // Add the code to load the url in a web browser here...
    // Add the code to load the url in a web browser here...

    // The ETrade account owner will login and grant access to the application.
    // A short verifier code will be displayed (as shown below), and this must be copy-and-pasted
    // into the next step to Complete the 3-legged OAuth1 Authorization 

    // Note: The browser will NOT automatically direct you to the next page.
    // You should copy the verifier code, close the browser, and then paste the verifier
    // code into your application.
