OAuth is
"An open protocol to allow secure API authentication in a simple and
standard method from desktop and web applications."
In practical terms, OAuth is a mechanism for a Consumer to request protected
resources from a Service Provider on behalf of a user.
Net::OAuth provides:
* classes that encapsulate OAuth messages (requests and responses)
* message signing
* message serialization and parsing.
* 2-legged requests (aka. tokenless requests, aka. consumer requests)
Net::OAuth does not provide:
* Consumer or Service Provider encapsulation
* token/nonce/key storage/management
Please refer to the OAuth spec: http://oauth.net/documentation/spec
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
