Currently the only way (I think) to register an application to use the OAuth API is via the web form at http://twitter.com/oauth_clients/new which requires the user to use login/password on the main site. To automate this (e.g. move it into a command-line application like the twitter rubygem) means that the login/password must be stored locally. Which is fine, until its not.
The maintainer of the twitter rubygem is/has migrated his code base to be whole OAuth compatible and removed all notions of storing login/ password locally to use for Basic Auth on the APIs. This means the twitter rubygem cannot be extended to support registering OAuth applications. Which is a pity. Can registration of OAuth applications be added to the API, please? That would be wonderful. Cheers Nic
