Method: GData4Ruby::Service#authenticate

Defined in:
lib/gdata4ruby/service.rb

#authenticate(username, password, service) ⇒ Object

The authenticate method passes the username and password to google servers.

If authentication succeeds, returns true, otherwise raises the AuthenticationFailed error. Thanks to David King and Scott Taylor for Ruby 1.9 fix.
