The conclusions that I came to when looking at this back when Twitter made the changes were that an RLM would require either: 1) Building an OAuth implementation into Rivendell, or 2) Depending upon an external library implementation of OAuth. At the time, there seemed to be no particularly good ones available. This approach would also mean incrementing Rivendell’s major version number, as it would constitute a change in the system dependencies. None of this, of course, rules out a third-party implementation if you’re so inclined to develop such. Cheers! |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
