CardBook Addon v38 needs a patch to fix Google 0Auth

[Wallace-and-Grommit-on-DVD]

Hello, I use Epyrus, and (perhaps unfortunately) my E-Mail is GMail.
To access google contacts via WebDAV you would have to use CardBook (since WebDAV is not implemented in Epyrus) specifically version 38 or below version 37.9's code can be found on the extention's gitlab however when attempting to authenticate over 0Auth google errors out saying that oob authentication is not allowed anymore, the offending line seems to be

Code: Select all

	REDIRECT_URI:               "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob",

in /chrome/content/cardbookRepository.js, Google recommends switching to localhost redirection, using http://127.0.0.1:<port> for the redirect uri instead. Unfortunately, while i know that the 0Auth request is implemented in /chrome/content/cardbookSynchronizationGoogle.js I have no clue how to open a port to listen for the response,thus this plea for help, hopefully someone here knows how to solve this problem.
(for note the file that handles the adding of address books is /chrome/content/addressbooksconfiguration/wdw_addressbooksAdd.js)
