-------------------------------------
Hi Sebb, thanks for your quick reply.
I haven't looked at the requirements for other servers, but for Google itself
it is different between 1.0a and 2 versions (add to this 2-legged OAuth which
doesn't require a token). This is while it doesn't matter for commons-net since
it uses the XOAUTH string the same way no matter what the protocol is. So, I
think it would be nice if there was such a helper but I would do it
conceptually separate to the authentication method itself.
I have no strong opinion on either plain or Base64, or even passing a map of
key values used to create this string. If it is more consistent to accept a
plain text, so be it.
