[Exist-development] OAuth

[Chris W. <kit...@go...>]

Now that Twitter is switching from Basic Authentication to OAuth, (and of
course is currently used for LinkedIn and other apps) we need an
implementation for eXist.  Dan made a start (see the Wikibook) and Norm
Walsh has an implementation in XQuery for ML :

http://github.com/ndw/XQuery-OAuth

but the core algorithm for the HMAC-SHA1 Signing algorithm is a local perl
script.  We have util:hash/SHA-1 function (although the documentation
doesn't list the available hash algorithms yet) so the only bit missing is
the HMAC part.

Before I attempt a version myself (I need it for my boat tracking
application - assuming we ever fix our engine!) ,  are there any other
resources available to help with this implementation?
