jsoauth for web browsers

[Mohammad Arsalan]

Can I use jsoauth in web browsers ?? Actually I m trying but getting authorization error while requesting request token.It seems jsoauth is not making proper GET request , it is requesting OPTIONS . Please help .

Also , is it appropriate to put secret in javascript for twitter client ??

It's ill advised to do so.

You can do it if CORS is supported by the API, but in Twitter's case they don't, nor would they give you an API key (beyond the one tied to your account) to allow other people to use your client.

Thanks for your reply .

So I will not be able to use jsoauth in twitter client if client is web browser based ?

[Rob Griffiths]

Sadly no. You could of course use it in a nodejs app ad have your web client talk to that.

Thanks for your reply and time .

Apart from web browser based twitter client , I liked your jsoauth library very much and it is very useful .
