In case anyone find it useful, here is a new OAuth 2.0 javascript library.
https://github.com/andreassolberg/jso
It would be useful for me if people tested it and reported any problems. I have
limited access to alternative OAuth 2.0 provider implementations, so I've only
tested a few of the commercial ones so far.
You can argue that a javascript OAuth library has limited value, given that you
can eigther communicate with your own server (in which you share cookies with
anyway) or you have to do ugly things like JSONP. Some situations where I think
such a library might be useful anyway:
* given an API with CORS support.
* in native web apps running in example phone gap, running in file:// context
and are thereby not limited by same-origin.
* in situations where you bypass the token to your own proxying webserver, but
would like to setup the tokens etc using javascript for more control of the
user interface.
Feedback is welcome.
