OAuth and Rebol

• OAuth

OAuth is used by many online services (Twitter, Etsy are but two) to provide secure authentication for requests. The above scheme allows such authenticated requests in REBOL.

read [
    scheme: 'oauth
    url: https://someoauth.net/some/method
    target: 'get ; http method
    key: make key [
        consumer-key: <a consumer key>
        consumer-secret: <a consumer secret>
    ]
    user: make user [
        token: <a user key>
        secret: <a user secret>
    ]
    awake: :load-json
]
