Ah - it seems you have read the documentation better than I :) I suppose that this is part of the secure phone home capabilities of the gadgets. Doing oAuth signing in javascript is not hard, however since the shared secret or private key will be in the javascript code then, it only ensures the request is not tampered with between the browser and the target (e.g by the gadget server or another proxy), and even that guarantee is doubtful (since the gadget server served the shared key to the gadget in the first place).
So the signing will be on the gadget server (the method has been discussed somewhere before, but I don't think you're looking for a theoretical description, rather a practical example. I would think that opt_params = Authentication.SIGNED opensocial.makeRequest(url, callback, opt_params) is the way to do it, but this is pure speculation (as soon as the first 0.6implementations arrive, it should be clear) On 12/22/07, vorun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Reinoud, thank-you for your reply!
