This is a RubyGem for implementing both OAuth clients and servers in Ruby applications.
See the OAuth specs oauth.net/core/1.0/
sudo gem install oauth
You can also install it from the oauth rubyforge project rubyforge.org/projects/oauth/.
The source code is now hosted on the OAuth GitHub Project github.com/pelle/oauth/tree/master
This is a ruby library which is intended to be used in creating Ruby Consumer and Service Provider applications. It is NOT a Rails plugin, but could easily be used for the foundation for such a Rails plugin.
As a matter of fact it has been pulled out from an OAuth Rails Plugin code.google.com/p/oauth-plugin/ which now requires this GEM.
Create a new consumer instance by passing it a configuration hash:
@consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new("key","secret", :site => "https://agree2")
Start the process by requesting a token
@request_token = @consumer.get_request_token session[:request_token] = @request_token redirect_to @request_token.authorize_url
When user returns create an access_token
@access_token = @request_token.get_access_token @photos = @access_token.get('/photos.xml')
For more detailed instructions I have written this OAuth Client Tutorial stakeventures.com/articles/2008/02/23/developing-oauth-clients-in-ruby and “How to turn your rails site into an OAuth Provider ”:stakeventures.com/articles/2007/11/26/how-to-turn-your-rails-site-into-an-oauth-provider .
Finally be sure to check out the OAuth RDoc Manual oauth.rubyforge.org/rdoc/ .
There is some documentation on the Google Code project for the “OAuth Rails Plugin”:code.google.com/p/oauth-plugin/ :

RequestToken code.google.com/p/oauth-plugin/wiki/RequestToken
