You could perhaps hide the complexity of the OAuth bits behind the
proxy script and use the three-legged option. It's a bit of extra or
maybe just different work, but the problem OAuth seeks to address
(stopping sites from asking you for passwords they shouldn't know) is
very real here. Also I'm not in any way trying to diminish this
awesome feature in a fast-moving software project, just wanted to make
sure the safest option was being pursued! =)
