Hi Simone, This sounds like a great idea! oAuth support is also needed by Apache Wookie (incubating), and a common implementation would be fantastic. I would also suggest taking a look at the approach taken by SignPost, which integrates nicely with commons-httpclient: http://code.google.com/p/oauth-signpost/ Scott Wilson --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
