I'm looking for some guidance on the best way to authenticate to my WebService. Right now, I have a standard WebService on .NET 3.5, and a MVC website that sits on top of this WebService. The MVC website uses OpenID to authenticate users, and during the development phase, we have simply been passing the user's OpenID Claimed Identifier...
Hi everyone! Has anyone implemented the Yahoo Fire Eagle API in a Java / Grails application? How did you do it? I want to poll their REST web service with my Grails application.

Launching a URL in Safari is easy enough in an iPhone application - UIApplication's openURL method. However, I'm doing some OAuth stuff, and want to follow the pattern that pownce used to handle OAuth. But since OAuth wants me to explicitly set the Authorization header, I don't know how to proceed. I can set headers via NSMutableURLReq...

I'm trying to use OAuth with Twitter, and I have my head wrapped around the pieces that need to be put in place to get a request token. But, it's not working. And the error message that I'm getting back isn't terribly helpful. Luckily I found a tester but again, the error message there isn't terribly helpful. "Invalid signature." Ok, g...
I'm working on an iPhone app that ideally uses OAuth to communicate with Twitter. I know a lot of people are doing the OAuth workflow inside of their apps using a UIWebView, but I don't agree with that and am going with the Pownce approach. The problem is, Twitter has this whole scheme for working with desktop apps, using a pin number. ...

I'm trying to write a simple OAuth consumer app in Rails. I'm using Authlogic for handling authentication and the Authlogic OAuth plugin to do the oauth thing. The oauth plugin provides a couple of helpers to render the sign in button: oauth_login_button and oauth_register_button. Together with the Authlogic logics and the plugin's requ...
I have noticed some Twitter Applications manage to get a particular users Location, Name, Profile Image etc using just the twitter username? Hows is this possible? I ask because I have not come across any where in the Twitter docs on how you can do this. I can get a users details myself using oAuth when the user provides my app permiss...
I am currently starting a project that will interact with Twitter via it's OpenAuth system and I was wondering about a few of the details. If a user agrees to give my site access to their Twitter account, can I access their account even if they aren't on my site? For example, could I have a nightly job run that would pull in all of the...
I can't seem to figure this one out. No matter what I do, I keep getting a "417 Expectation failed" error. Everywhere I've looked says that I need to get rid of the Expect header for the HttpWebRequest. Setting the static property ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false or the instance property on the web request request.ServicePoi...
I'm using Twitter's OAuth for my app (DroidIn) To my dismay I can't find any way to track who and how often is using the app. Searching Twitter for "sent from DroidIn" does not yield any results. I suppose I can call some sort of counter app from my code but that doesn't seem to be fair to my users. Any ideas or suggestions? ...

Of course - owner would like to skip step "Do you agree to add site s1.site.com as trusted?", but for security reason would like to not mark other sites like othersite...
