Re: [twitter-dev] Can an authorize URL pass through a parameter?

[Abraham Williams]

You can create a custom oauth_callback with your own parameters in your call
to get a request_token (temporary credentials) and Twitter is required by
spec to append oauth_token to it when your user returns from authorizing
access.

If the callback URI already includes a query component, the serverMUST

i don't think this is possible in oauth 1.0a.  i know oauth 2.0 has a state
parameter (don't quote me on the name) that will allow clients to pass an
opaque string to the server who will then pass it back.
