What is XOauth and its relationship with OAuth? -


some opensocial containers use xoauth_security_token signing requests, instead of oauth_token , oauth_token_secret.

is xoauth alternative oauth?(*) behind xoauth , official spec?

casual googling lead me xoauth.py google-mail-xoauth-tools project states it's "utilities xoauth authentication".

(*)aside: mustn't be, because container uses other oauth_xxx parameters alongside xoauth_xxx ones.

where did see use of xoauth_security_token? googled , did not single hit.

xoauth sasl authentication mechanism based on oauth signatures. can used smtp or imap authentication instance. there's proposal make ietf standard, official sasl mechanism. supported google , works gmail smtp , imap access.

for more information how implement , use it:

hth.
