We didn't think of using lynx to log in, and the way via an oauth app seems to be the only way that's supposed to be non-interactive.

(What we messed up along the way which would have made error printing useful:
- not set Content-Type,
- typoed a field name in request,
- something else that I don't remember.)

@robryk @js @timorl the only lynx on the machine was a 1992'ish version without any notion of TLS ... Unless you compiled a new one (totally possible, I also put gcc-2.7.2.3 in /usr/local) but that would probably have taken the whole afternoon. Maybe through an stunnel (faster to compile) ?
