The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: OAuth::Consumer
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: OAuth enabled UserAgent for desktop app
userid: MATHIAS (Mathias Kende)
chapterid: 15 (World_Wide_Web_HTML_HTTP_CGI)
communities:
similar:
LWP::Authen::OAuth, OAuth::Lite::Consumer, Net::OAuth::Simple
rationale:
LWP::Authen::OAuth provides OAuth signature to an LWP user agent.
OAuth::Consumer inherits from it to provide its user-agent
functionnalities but add to LWP::Authen::OAuth high level fonctions
to perform the 3 steps of the OAuth authentication, including the
set-up of a webserver to capture the end of the authentication
phase.
As such, OAuth::Consumer is a dead-simple library to connect a
desktop application to an OAuth service provider.
Similar library (simple OAuth consumer providing user-agent like
functionnalities) include the following:
- OAuth::Lite::Consumer: while being quiet simple, has an API
designed to be used inside of a web application, which is exactly
the opposite of OAuth::Consumer;
- Net::OAuth::Simple: is very simple, but it does not automate the
capture of the authentication phase and it provide a less powerfull
object (which is not a full featured LWP user-agent).
Other OAuth libraries that I found are either quiet complex, do not
provide user-agent feature, or are designed to be used inside a web
application.
