Hi,

I recently changed the way Signpost sends the oauth_callback. It now
puts it in the Authorizaion header next to all the other oauth_*
params, which seemed a sensible thing to do. Unfortunately, I only
tested the 1.2.1 release against the major OAuth providers using out-
of-band request, realizing too late that at least Twitter and
FireEagle now break when supplying a callback. Duh.

I turned to the spec again and couldn't find anything that prohibits
sending the callback in the Auth header. Any idea why this wouldn't be
supported by service providers? It seemed to work fine when sending it
in the URL query string, but then I had people complaining about how
Signpost is not consistent about sending OAuth parameters...

What's the right thing to do here?

Thanks,
Matthias

PS: The symptoms for this actually differ. FireEagle simply gives me a
401. Twitter does not -- but its redirection to the callback will fail
when the user grants authorization. It doesn't fail when the callback
is passed in the URL!
