I suggested you head to the opensocial forums (or maybe iGoogle) because you are trying to work out how to integrate with their APIs. One of the interesting things about OAuth was that the authors originally thought it would be a solution for delegated API access. It's become that. But people are reusing the message signing from the OAuth specification in lots of other use cases, and the best place to learn about those use cases is to refer the API docs over there. > I have loaded up the sample gaeauthdemo.

OK, taking this one off-list because I don't want to clutter the oauth mailing list...
