Hi Glenn, FWIW, the application and platform is extremely small and lightweight - there is nothing as powerful or huge as 'curl' there. It is all raw C code, stripped down libraries, etc. measured in K-bytes, not Megabytes, to say nothing of Gigabytes.
For example, the current 'tweet' code binary is 18K bytes. If you can add oAuth in 100K bytes or less, that might work, but that one function would then still be bigger than the entire rest of the application. In fact, the entire file system ROM image, with all the binaries and data is 114K bytes.
