Splash Web Effects

So I have been searching in vain for days for an oAuth library for Classic ASP.

I believe that due to the nature of Classic ASP, the limited support and the random quirks (fewer than ASP.NET and yet somehow… people complain more…) there exists NO library for such a thing.

I’ve been looking through the PHP libraries and the coldfusion libraries and so on, and many of the objects and methods present just aren’t supported in Classic.

Problem is, Twitter is depreciating the Basic Auth methods soon, and you won’t be able to cURL in.

@Anywhere, which is a javascript library that will allow Twitter to interact with your DOM, is going to essentially become the Facebook Connect of Twitter. We’re looking at DOM level integration, so it’s server-side language independent. This comes out April 15th, and I can’t wait.

Until then, I can tweet using this library :

and store usernames and passwords (horrible, but necessary for 15 days…) for the time being. I’m sending out an authentication tweet that signals successful connection, and pulling the user_profile_pic out of the Twitter REST API Method: users lookup that makes it look a lot like Facebook Connect; it achieves the user interface experience I’m looking for.
