I have worked with oAuth on two integrations. 1) Google Calendar. We ended up switching gears and are using a C# exe outside our main exe. 2) Constant Contact. We ended up writing a C# Web service to handle the oAuth callback. Once the user finishes the login, they need to click a button to fetch details from our web service.
oAuth 2.0 requires a callback, if I'm remembering correctly. VFP doesn't have that ability natively. Time constraints prevented me from attempting putting that in an FLL.
