Hi,
As you all know, while registering for OAuth/BBAuth,
we have to put a
file at the root level of the domain. This is done to
prove that the
developer has the root access to the domain where he
is creating the
application. So, a developer has to have a root access
to a domain in
order to use OAuth/BBAuth and hence any yahoo api
(google also follows
the same i guess).
I don't understand why they have not allowed
sub-domain registration?
What if people don't have the root access and cannot
be given the same.

For example, in educational institutes,
students/professors have a
sub-domain where they often create their webpages.
These people may very
much want to put the application they are developing
at such
sub-domains, which they currently cannot.

One reason may be that for developing an application,
some
packages/softwares have to installed, which can't be
done without root
access. But this problem can be solved, or can be left
to the developer
to solve.

Dipen
