Actually, this whole Chinese user issue affects web apps as well. Because, with OAuth, any Chinese user (or any user whose company blocks Twitter.com) cannot use the web app or add the Twitter account to a web app that uses OAuth. So, web apps should have the option of offering their users the xau

what i would do (with that caveat that i'm speaking as myself and not necessarily as a twitter employee ;P): make a proxy that uses xauth - you could still ask for a username/password, use xauth to do the exchange with twitter, and then proxy the basic auth to oauth. the caveat is that i stated

There is no detailed information about xauth right now, but the WRAP specification did allow to fetch access token using username/password, that makes a proxy script possible.I think this is xauth about: get access token using username/password and then do the rest things using oauth. I'm still wa
