Has anybody done a Flickr client using Restlet? If so, details appreciated. Or, failing that, being pointed in the right direction on how to do it (what classes to derive from) would be good.

I've been looking at the Restlet code and the thing that strikes me as wrong is that the core classes have a small, finite number of authentication schemes hard-coded into them, e.g., NMTL and AWS. IMHO, there should be no authentication schemes hard-coded. There should be an interface and instead a set of bundled ones, but there's no reason, for example, why SecurityUtils should know anything about the "X-Amz-Date" HTTP header.
