Introducing a new easy and powerful OAuth library for Qt

Hi all,

I wanted to let you know that I have created a new OAuth library for Qt called kQOAuth. I am still to add more documentation, but you can read about it here:

http://www.johanpaul.com/blog/2010/1...ibrary-for-qt/

I will add a dedicated page for kOQAuth on my site in a few days. In the meantime I am more than happy to answer any questions about it here.

Source code is licensed under the LGPL license and source can be found in Gitorious: http://www.gitorious.org/kqoauth/kqoauth

My motivation for this library came from the existing Qt based OAuth library, QOAuth. But I felt I wanted to improve on it in some respect. So here are the features of kQOAuth in a nutshell:
- Fully asynchronous using signals and slots. Integrates very nicely in any Qt program
- Easy way to retrieve user authorization by opening a web page. Built in HTTP server will parse the reply for you.
- No external dependencies to e.g. QCA.
- Convenience APIs for very easy OAuth authentication. See example TwitterCLI program that implements a command line Twitter client in some tens lines of code.
- Yet powerful; if you want to have full control of the authentication process, you will get all necessary signals and you can create all requests yourself.

Tested against Twitter.
