Implement support for Facebook and other identify providers

[jvence]

Would be great to implement server-side support for authentication through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.

Any update on this? Thanks

Sorry, just noticed this.
I have been snowed under with other work.
I hope to get back this project in May

Sorry to press on this. Any update on this?

Hi Iain,
Just wanted to follow up to see if you're still supporting this framework and in particular any plans to work on this issue. Thanks

Good grief it's been 8 months since you raised this.
I guess it's been a low priority as a lot of other work has taken over.
The reality is that I am probably not going to get to it unless some work related activity calls for it.

[jvence]

That's too bad. I really think this framework has lots of legs.

With a littte bit of work, you can merge ian's other fb implementation from his rest project into this one. It requires some rejigging but I did it.

You can't expect to have it all without some work.

I am happy to work with you guys if you want to generate some pull requests

[jvence]

@chartrand22 Would have done it if I knew how. Why not generate a pull request with your fb implementation?

BTW I did submit a pull request for CORS that was accepted and merged into the project so it's not for lack of wanting to do any work

[chartrand22]

Yeah I'd have to find the time to do this. I've implemented quite a bit since then so it's not trivial to "extract" the relevant stuff only.
