Hi and welcome to the libcurl development corner!

Yes, there were some talks about oauth back in the days and some people seemed
to be interested in getting "native" support for it. Then the discussion died
and nothing has happened since.

I was under the impression that the existing oauth libraries are good enough
for people so the interest in getting this supported by libcurl directly is
not very big. Perhaps I was wrong.

I'm not aware of any oauth work going on or being planned. If someone wants it
added, it is just to roll up your sleeves and start the work.
