Interesting. Thanks for the info. I had no idea oauth was IETF standardized. I thought it was a neat and great way to do things; but had no idea it was codified as a standard.

It will be nice to rip out the several hundred lines and handful of files I need to integrate oauth in my sites.

I look forward to seeing oauth integration in curl natively.
