Hi all,
We have recently been working on an implementation of OAuth (1+2), and
this is now approaching a state in which it can be distributed as a tech
preview. For this we'll need a new public repository.
The main reason for OAuth to reside in its own module (and not as a part
of qtnetwork) is that it is specialized, and most qtnetwork users won't
need it. This avoids increasing the footprint of, and unnecessary
complexity in, qtnetwork. Another reason is that OAuth, while depending
on and using networking mechanisms, isn't in itself really a networking
mechanism.
Cheers,
- Fredrik -
