Hi Chris & Ram, If don't not use direct url call such as http://localhost:8012/social/rest/people/10050/@self, is there any other Restful way which is supported by OAuth?
I want to post a gadget on an opensocial enabled site to fetch data from another opensocial enabled site, both using shindig. Any suggestions on how to achieve this? 2008/8/28 Chris Chabot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > On Aug 28, 2008, at 7:14 AM, Ram Sharma wrote: > > Restful API are not fully implemented for direct url call as that will >> need >> OAuth support.
