Hey John - A while back I needed to tack OAuth support on to a general purpose HTTP client API. The goals were two-fold: 1) Do magic whenever possible. Request token and access token requests happen under the covers. Adding the session extension support was magic, it required no changes to ca

I propose to extend the Java oauth-core library to better support accessing protected resources, as follows. Please let me know if this is a bad idea, or there's a better way. In brief, I propose to add a method to OAuthClient: /** Send a request and return the response. */ public OAuthResponse

It's unusual for software to send a request to OAuthAuthorizeToken. That URL is meant for browsing; that is, its server uses HTML to present a user interface, to enable the user to log in to Google (authenticate) and give permission for an application to access her data (authorize). http://code.g

Interesting ... IMHO, the scope (of the URL) determines the extend of capabilities exposed (or can be accessed) via an OAuth mechanism. (I am working on a few combinations of this to figure out the granularity) So if we say the scope as www.example.com/uc/vmail/1234, then only the voice mail #1

Most of the major providers that I know use SSL behind netscalars too for their login servers. Usually netscalers persist the connections with the origin servers so there is still huge performance improvement while securing the data in transit in the internal network. Of course passwords still hav

I'll start with the IPR question. The IETF has a very simple set of rules with regard to its IPR policies. The full rules are available at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/about/. In general, everyone is an individual, and most of the IPR requirements are about copyrights. There is a disclosure

I'm not sure I completely understand, but what resources (and how many) that you can access with an authorized token are outside the spec. OAuth is a generic method for protecting resources; it's up to you to determine what, and for how long, you make those resources available. Chris On 1/30/09

Thank you both for your fast replies. Indeed, I was wrong when I said that the distinction between both tokens would dramatically increase the response time. I misunderstood the spec, as I thought that one pair Request Token -- Access Token only granted access to one protected resource (namely, o

Agreed. I don't think this solution works for everyone. Though from that post it seems that unless the site is using SRP the password is going in clear-text over the wire (SSL) for sites that store salted hashes. (I just used Live HTTP headers to verify a major online service provider and this
