Web2py Restful api authentication for android app

[Saurabh Kumar]

Hi,

I am writing an android app which has web2py as the server side backend. What are the authentication protocols while using Restful api from Java code. There are two scenarios:

1) HTTP (will need something like oauth2.0 )

2) HTTPS (can do basic auth)

Which is the best way for authentication in this scenario. Are there any authentication libraries that can help me setup the authentication for restful apis?

for my resful APIs i use an oauth library to sign the requests.  i then use oauth as my authentication mechanism.

Can you give pointers to the library you are using?

we are using a modified form of
https://github.com/simplegeo/python-oauth2 modified to make it run on
GAE and also some tweaks in usage to handle some special-case requirements.
