I've got an app here that we'd like to have authenticated RSS feeds on it-- non-public data that nonetheless can stream pretty nicely in an RSS format. It seems that OAuth-for-desktop-apps is a great fit for this, with the only problem being that the RSS readers would have to support this at the client level. Has anyone tried to build this into a reader? A quick search turned up nothing, but am I missing anything obvious?
The biggest problem I can see is that since OAuth requests are nonce'd and signed unqiuely, which gets away from the spirit of RSS's one-URL-per-feed (if you're using GET parameters, especially). I've seen authenticated RSS by way of per-stream tokens, and I've seen a few RSS readers that implement HTTP-BASIC auth. This feels like it's a good fit with bad timing. -- justin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OAuth" group.
