    Currently calling GET /3/authenticate/:valid_request_token/validate_with_login?username=:valid_username&password=:valid_password&api_key=:valid_api_key returns a 404, am I doing something wrong?

    The flow is the exact same as a non u/p auth. Once you get an auth token:

    http://api.themoviedb.org/3/authentication/token/new?api_key=###
    

    Head over to the website:

    https://www.themoviedb.org/authenticate/REQUEST_TOKEN/validate_with_login?username=&password=
    

    I could add the ability to do this API side, but right now you can't. I guess it depends on the use case, when I built this it was for a client that had a view. I can appreciate how in your context it doesn't make any sense.

    This is why it's not public yet ;)

    Hi Travis,

    Will this be implemented as such in the future or can I remove this feature branch? I do believe such an implementation does make sense, and a SSL protocol restriction should apply ( obviously ).

    Thanks!

    I've created a new ticket for this, #363.

    In regards to time, not sure. I've been in a bit of a maintenance mode for the past week or two, planning to continue for probably another week. Then I'll take a peak at some feature work.
