• Consumer key - The consumer's subdomain, consumer_key.freshbooks.com
• Consumer Secret - The consumer's secret, that we will use to make OAuth requests.
• Request Token - A value used by the consumer to obtain authorization and an access token from the user.
• Access Token - A value used by the consumer to access the user's information.

I'm writing an app that talks to Apple to verifyReceipts. They have both a sandbox and production url that you can post to.

When communicating with Apple, if you receive a 21007 status, it means you were posting to the production url, when you should be posting to the sandbox one.

So I wrote some code to facilitate the retry logic. Here's a simplified version of my code:

var request = require('request')
  , Q = require('q')
  ;
