Basically, because the support of OAuth 2 by Scribe is not as wide as the standard defines it. This fork aims to enhance the Oauth 2 support, especially by letting the API classes interact with the Oauth2 service to specialize the access token request or sign in request.
In an API class, you can define how the access token request should be signed.
@Override public ParameterType getClientAuthenticationType() { // ParameterType.Header => the token cliendId:clientSecret is base64 encoded and send as a Basic Auth // ParameterType.QueryString => cliendId and clientSecret are sent as a oauth parameter in the QueryString // ParameterType.PostForm => cliendId and clientSecret are sent as a oauth parameter in a URL encoded form return ParameterType.Header; } //Default is QueryString for backward compatibility
You can define how the oauth 2 parameters should be sent.
@Override public ParameterType getParameterType() { // ParameterType.Header => the parameters are sent in the header // ParameterType.QueryString => the parameters are sent as a QueryString // ParameterType.PostForm => The parameters are sent in a URL encoded form return ParameterType.Header; } //Default is QueryString for backward compatibility
Finally, you can throw the access token request of the service and build your own.
@Override public OAuthRequest handleRequest(OAuthRequest request) { //Do what ever you want on the access token request here. The service will not change it. return request; }
