Hi all,

We have recently been working on an implementation of OAuth (1+2), and this is now approaching a state in which it can be distributed as a tech preview. For this we'll need a new public repository.

The main reason for OAuth to reside in its own module (and not as a part of qtnetwork) is that it is specialized, and most qtnetwork users won't need it. This avoids increasing the footprint of, and unnecessary complexity in, qtnetwork. Another reason is that OAuth, while depending on and using networking mechanisms, isn't in itself really a networking mechanism.


Cheers,
- Fredrik -
