[twitter-dev] OAuth from the Browser

2009-11-07 Thread Harshad RJ
Hi, I am trying to wrap my mind around OAuth, and I am not sure I understand the subtleties. Is it possible to make OAuth authenticated requests from browser *directly*to the Twitter API? Is it a safe recommended way? Or do all API requests have to go through an application-specific server, to

[twitter-dev] Re: OAuth from the Browser

2009-11-07 Thread ryan alford
There are no app-specific servers. With OAuth, instead of passing user credentials, you use YOUR consumer key and consumer secret which identifies your application. You get an access token after the user has allowed your application to have access to their account. You will then use that access

Ryan, By credentials, I meant the OAuth tokens, consumer keys, etc. Wouldn't they be visible to the browser/desktop-client? And hence, couldn't they be copied and reused by somebody so determined? Personally, I think the chance of this kind of attack would be rare and limited. I just wanted to

Please keep discussions on list. The issue clearly is one at your end, if you get the same results by going directly to the URL. You can't rely on anything GoDaddy says, their support is 100% full of idiots. Were it me, and I couldn't undo what I'd done, I'd probably create a fresh web root,

Whether you plug your token in or not shouldn't matter -- the callback script should fire when you call the URL, regardless. All you're looking for is a page load here, whether it errors or not. As I said, the problem is clearly one on your end, if you can't load the callback page by calling it
