Log Message:
Importing p5 package for Net::OAuth-0.19 into net/p5-Net-OAuth as
dependency for scheduled update of net/p5-Net-Twitter to 3.05003.
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
