Bringing easy OAuth to Qt
June 24th, 2009
Lastly I spent some time looking for a decent OAuth support for C++. I found that the only available libary (which is actually a pure C code), surely does what I expect, but provides pretty complicated API making it inconvenient to use. And I’m kind of a lazy guy (oh who’s not :-) ) and I’m getting scared with just thinking of writing tens of lines of code to complete just a single OAuth request. Plus, instead of endlessly converting from QString and QByteArray to char* I’d prefer to have some friendly, Qt-compatible way to deal with the whole OAuth thing. That’s how the idea of QOAuth came up.
