OAuth 1.0a a.k.a. OAuth 1.0 a.k.a. RFC 5849

[matthewlmcclure]

@mitsuhiko We had a brief conversation on Twitter.

Here's a proof of concept using oauthlib via requests.

A .ftcurlish.json: https://gist.github.com/4158445.

And a demonstration using Twitter: https://gist.github.com/4158502.

This is obviously not ready to merge. Just starting a conversation. Requests has a nice high level API, but I imagine you might not like that dependency. Maybe using oauthlib directly to sign requests and then passing its output to curl would be better.

What do you think?

@mitsuhiko

I eliminated the earlier dependency on Requests. The pull request as of this comment depends directly on oauthlib for OAuth1 signing.

Here's an updated .ftcurlish.json showing how to configure Twitter and LinkedIn: https://gist.github.com/fe80848275e38350e60a

I tested it with both:

$ python curlish.py https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/home_timeline.json
...

$ python curlish.py 'https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~?format=json'
...

What do you think?

Is there a way to remove the other dependency as well and directly include the necessary functionality into that script? The advantage would be that it can be used without a virtualenv then which is an advantage for helper scripts.

I wouldn't want to reimplement oauthlib's functionality. But I could
probably make the dependency optional unless the user wants to use OAuth 1
APIs. Requests does something similar already.

I made the oauthlib dependency optional. It's only required in case you want to use OAuth 1 authorization now.

Care to pull this into your master branch?
