Okay, I have tried to get insert and update to run but it wont. The problem was that I needed the users mail for the http request but $account doesn't seem to contain $account[mail] the first time he logs in. I have changed the request now so that it sends username instead.

Thanks for the help, I will report the insert issue as a bug.
