liboauth

========

liboauth is a collection of c functions implementing the http://oauth.net API.

liboauth provides functions to escape and encode stings according to

OAuth specifications and offers high-level functionality built on top to sign

requests or verify signatures using either NSS or OpenSSL for calculating

the hash/signatures.

The included documentation in the `doc/` folder and example code from `tests/`

can also be found online at http://liboauth.sourceforge.net/

Note: OpenSSL is not strictly compatible with the GPL license.

An exemption (to the GPL) allowing to link and redistribute

liboauth with the OpenSSL library is is included in the source files.

You can avoid this whole issue by using NSS instead of OpenSSL;

configure with '--enable-nss'.

Test and Example Code

---------------------

After compilation `make check` can be used to perform a off-line self-test.

There is also example code to perform and verify OAuth requests online,

but they are not run automatically.

*   `tests/oauthexample.c`  - CONNECTS TO INTERNET

     walk-though http://term.ie/oauth/example

*   `tests/oauthtest.c`     - CONNECTS TO INTERNET

     gets a request-token from http://term.ie test-server

*   `tests/oauthtest2.c`    - CONNECTS TO INTERNET

     gets a request-token from http://term.ie test-server

     using OAuth HTTP Authorization header:

     see http://oauth.net/core/1.0a/#auth_header

     and http://oauth.net/core/1.0a/#consumer_req_param

*   `tests/selftest_wiki.c`

*   `tests/selftest_eran.c`

     Test-Cases for parameter encoding, signatures, etc

*   `tests/commontest.c`

     Common Test-Case functions exercising the low-level API used by self-tests.

*   `tests/oauthdatapost.c` - CONNECTS TO INTERNET

     Experimental code to sign data uploads

     Note: The example keys have since been deleted from the test-server.

     Code remains for inspiration/example purposes.
