Any chance of oAuth support being added? please?

I just bought this module and was all kinds of excited about it, until I saw this thread that is.  Now I feel like a kid who just dropped their ice cream on the ground.  In hindsight, I probably should have paid better attention to the words “open RESTful API” in the description, but I’ll second the motion.  oAuth support would be very useful.

Sorry for the delay on the answer guys. I am working on OAuth 1 and 2 support for this module leveraging code from my PyroCMS Social module:

www.pyrocms.com/store/details/social_integration

See it in action here:

I plan to allow the REST controller to have tokens authenticated with a request, so that calls can be made to private systems. It’ll take a while to do, but at least I’m starting :)

Phil any update on a possible ETA for v2.0 of the Rest module (which I assume will include oAuth and Basic Auth)?

Each time I try sitting down to hash out how this would work I get pestered by pesky clients wanting me to do some more work. This is a big, complicated task which I am not sure I have the time for.

Adding oAuth, and of course oAuth 2 will open up a lot more usage, but really this is outside of the scope of this add-on. Things like facebook work really easily if you have a facebook token (its just a a parameter) but that is not what this addon is up to, this is about parsing content from external sources to use it on your own site.

I could probably port my Social module across from PyroCMS, but that would be another addon which would be charged for separately.

If it gives oAuth and Basic Auth then I for one am happy to pay for that module.

Likewise, I’ll pay for several licenses of this add-on if it adds basic/token authentication soon.

HTTP Basic Auth will already work, you just put the username and password in like this:

http://username:password@foo.com/bar/baz.json

HTTP Basic Auth will already work, you just put the username and password…

HTTP Basic Auth using that method didn’t work for me.  Sad face.
