Frustrated by Magento? Then you’ll love
Tangentially Magento related: Magento uses the lusitanian/oauth composer package to handle some oAuth related tasks. In addition to the usual “create the cryptic Authorization: headers” code you’d expect to find in an oAuth library, there’s also these two folders of code
https://github.com/Lusitanian/PHPoAuthLib/tree/master/src/OAuth/OAuth1/Service
https://github.com/Lusitanian/PHPoAuthLib/tree/master/src/OAuth/OAuth2/Service
Each service class listed here attempts to capture each individual oAuth API’s unique take on how to authenticate, authorize, and call an API endpoint for a particular third party service.
Whenever someone like me quips that “oAuth is a tire fire”, what we’re really saying is “I wish oAuth was a protocol with a standard implementation for authentication, authorization, and method calling across corporate providers”. The effort David’s made to write and/or collect these vendor specific implementations into a single place is admirable – but it points to the ultimate fragility of standards like oAuth.
