Auth systems/OAuth/Library

From mediawiki.org

http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_OAuth

  • New BSD License
  • last update 2011-07-16
  • 2200 lines of PHP (only 1050 excluding tests and examples)
  • Consumer depends on HTTP_Request2 but Provider appears to have no such dependency.
  • Can be bundled in a fake PEAR tree with include_path set appropriately
  • Minimal reference documentation.
  • Only supports one signature method, which is just a single hash_hmac() call.
  • Fairly awkward request handling, but we can just rewrite it if this is all we need. Our own equivalent library written from scratch would be ~300 lines (with only the provider part).
