- Fixed http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=48867 - error in
synopsis - thanks Adam Taylor!
- Removed UTF8 double-encoding warning. Now Net::OAuth::Message::encode()
uses Encode::is_utf8() to determine if the input is already UTF-8 encoded.
If so, it runs decode_utf8() on it before sending it to uri_escape_utf8().
Thanks Hector Garcia Alvarez!
- Potentially fixed an issue found by Marc Mims, where HMAC_SHA1 was failing
to load, breaking some CPAN tests. Build.PL now explicitly requires
Digest::SHA1 and Encode. Hopefully that fixes it.
dependency for scheduled update of net/p5-Net-Twitter to 3.05003.
OAuth is
"An open protocol to allow secure API authentication in a simple and
standard method from desktop and web applications."
In practical terms, OAuth is a mechanism for a Consumer to request protected
resources from a Service Provider on behalf of a user.
Net::OAuth provides:
* classes that encapsulate OAuth messages (requests and responses)
* message signing
* message serialization and parsing.
* 2-legged requests (aka. tokenless requests, aka. consumer requests)
Net::OAuth does not provide:
* Consumer or Service Provider encapsulation
* token/nonce/key storage/management
Please refer to the OAuth spec: http://oauth.net/documentation/spec
