Thanks for OAuth, and a pull request..

[grtjn]

Hi Norm,

Now that Twitter has dropped support for the v1 api, I was forced to do proper authentication. I was fiddling with a piece of PHP code that I used for XMLAmsterdam Twitterwall (real ugly), but somehow I was unable to port it to XQuery properly.

I then realized I had been playing with your OAuth library before. I experimented a long while ago with using MLJAM and Java code to do the hmac-sha1 encoding. I am sure I have used it somewhere, at some point, though probably didn't bother as the v1 api was also accessible without authentication. Been a while since you last touched this code, so I thought you might be interested.

While dusting it off, I thought that Perl and Java aren't necessary any more at all. I created an oauth-ml6.xqy copy in which I removed the perl and mljam stuff, and simply replaced that with a single call to the xdmp function. Also added that to the pull request.

Interested?

Cheers,
Geert

I have to admit, I'm tempted to just replace the Perl script with the MarkLogic 6 builtin at this point.
