Re: [twitter-dev] Oauth authentication - reg
Hi Suresh, This library for AS3 supports OAuth, though I can't speak to how well-written or to-spec it is. http://code.google.com/p/oauth-as3/ Taylor Singletary Developer Advocate, Twitter http://twitter.com/episod On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 11:46 AM, Suresh Kumar wrote: > Hi, >Is there any api for as3 available? > > Suresh Kumar > > > On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 7:10 PM, Taylor Singletary < > taylorsinglet...@twitter.com> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> Basic authentication, which is the method of sending a username and >> password on each API call through HTTP Basic Auth, is going away in June. >> The best path to implementing secure authentication that doesn't put users >> at risk is OAuth ( http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth_overview and >> http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth ) >> >> For certain kinds of applications that do not have ready access to a web >> browser and who would rather eschew the entire OAuth out-of-band flow (which >> is more appropriate and introduces less risk at the cost of what some may >> perceive as a poorer user experience), we offer xAuth on an approval-basis. >> xAuth still requires implementing most of the OAuth standard, but allows you >> to exchange a username and password, with the user's permission, for an >> OAuth access token.

Re: [twitter-dev] Oauth authentication - reg
Hi, Basic authentication, which is the method of sending a username and password on each API call through HTTP Basic Auth, is going away in June. The best path to implementing secure authentication that doesn't put users at risk is OAuth ( http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth_overview and http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth ) For certain kinds of applications that do not have ready access to a web browser and who would rather eschew the entire OAuth out-of-band flow (which is more appropriate and introduces less risk at the cost of what some may perceive as a poorer user experience), we offer xAuth on an approval-basis. xAuth still requires implementing most of the OAuth standard, but allows you to exchange a username and password, with the user's permission, for an OAuth access token. You would then dispose of the login and password given by the user and use an access token, which the user can revoke at any time, to access resources on the member's behalf. You can read about xAuth at http://dev.twitter.com/pages/xauth .

Re: [twitter-dev] Oauth authentication - reg
Yes, that's basic auth and is going to be turned off. Here's how to get started: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth +Clint On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 7:58 AM, Sigma wrote: > Hi, >I'm a newbie. i want to know how to get username and password from > folks accessing my application and tweet on behalf of them?
