Hello, in my website, I want to add a "invite friend of my contacts book" functionnality.

I would like that the user fills the loggin form in my website. Then the website contacts Google Mail, Yahoo Mail, Live Mail and retrieves the contact list.

In the Oauth protocole supported by Google and Yahoo, the user is redirected to a Google or Yahoo page (like Facebook) in order to permit the user to give permissions.

But I saw two websites which didn't any redirections to get the contacts book (LinkedIn for a Google mail account and Theauteurs with a live mail.)

Do you know how I can get a contacts book without redirect the user to Google, Microsoft or Yahoo website.
