Ruby OAuth

What

This is a RubyGem for implementing both OAuth clients and servers in Ruby applications.

See the OAuth specs oauth.net/core/1.0/

This version is modified to work around a bug in JRuby 1.4.1 through 1.5.3. The bug is fixed in the Master for JRuby 1.6.0

Installing

sudo gem install oauth

The source code is now hosted on the OAuth GitHub Project github.com/oauth/oauth-ruby

The basics

This is a ruby library which is intended to be used in creating Ruby Consumer and Service Provider applications. It is NOT a Rails plugin, but could easily be used for the foundation for such a Rails plugin.

As a matter of fact it has been pulled out from an OAuth Rails Plugin code.google.com/p/oauth-plugin/ which now requires this GEM.

Demonstration of usage

Create a new consumer instance by passing it a configuration hash:

@consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new("key","secret", :site => "https://agree2")

Start the process by requesting a token

@request_token = @consumer.get_request_token
session[:request_token] = @request_token
redirect_to @request_token.authorize_url

When user returns create an access_token

@access_token = @request_token.get_access_token
@photos = @access_token.get('/photos.xml')

Now that you have an access token, you can use Typhoeus to interact with the OAuth provider if you choose.

oauth_params = {:consumer => oauth_consumer, :token => access_token}
hydra = Typhoeus::Hydra.new
req = Typhoeus::Request.new(uri, options) 
oauth_helper = OAuth::Client::Helper.new(req, oauth_params.merge(:request_uri => uri))
req.headers.merge!({"Authorization" => oauth_helper.header}) # Signs the request
hydra.queue(req)
hydra.run
@response = req.response
