[Qt-qml] Authentication from a QML application

[Johan Paul]

Hi,

Just want to chime in by saying that OAuth is not the same as HTTP auth.

OAuth is the thing you see web pages do when, say, Facebook wants to 
integrate with your Flickr account and you need to authenticate this 
connection - or when your mobile app shows the log in page a social 
service and you must log in and press a button "Please let this app send 
tweets from my account" and then the mobile app says "yey".

HTTP Auth is your traditional browser popup to log in to sites with. 
AFAIK there is no way to do this in QML right now. But I would also like 
to be proven wrong (or hear it's available in QtQuick2).


Cheers,

Johan
