I see. Which resources are accesible and which are not are part of an offline agreement between Service Provider and User, and hence are out of the scope of the spec. And I agree with your reasoning about the temporal states. Thanks a lot to all of you, you've helped me a lot. Greetings, Jorgi

Indeed, the draft of Scalable OAuth takes to account the problem of giving access to concrete resources at the Service Provider, as well as other problems I had detected such as token revocation and renewal. Thank you very much to all of you who have tried to help me :-) Jorgito --~--~

Hi Krishna and Praveen. Sorry for the delay, but during weekends I don't have Internet connection. Krishna: that's exactly what I mean, granularity in time and granularity in the space of resources. The granularity in time is already implemented in OAuth, but the granularity in resources... may

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

Ordinarily, a consumer would get one access token and use it to access the thousand protected resources. OAuth would add very little to the resource response time. On Jan 26, 3:37 am, Jorgito wrote: > Reading the spec of OAuth there's something whose motivation I can't > understand. Why disti
