Net::OAuth provides a low-level API for reading and writing OAuth messages.
|
|
|
|
OAuth is an open protocol to allow secure API authentication in a simple and
|
|
standard method from desktop and web applications. In practical terms, OAuth is
|
|
a mechanism for a Consumer to request protected resources from a Service
|
|
Provider on behalf of a user.
|
|
|
|
Net::OAuth provides:
|
|
- classes that encapsulate OAuth messages (requests and responses).
|
|
- message signing
|
|
- message serialization and parsing.
|
|
- 2-legged requests (aka. tokenless requests, aka. consumer requests), see
|
|
"CONSUMER REQUESTS"
|
|
|
|
Net::OAuth does not provide:
|
|
- Consumer or Service Provider encapsulation
|
|
- token/nonce/key storage/management
