Subject: Probably incorrect 'check'
IMHO, message->check should be called during verify/sign step, not during constructor. Currently it is impossible to create object and fill required field after that. Real example: when forming request object on provider side, we first need to parse request - to get consumer key, then get consumer secret from our storage, and only then we could create request object, which will parse request again. Currently, I workarounded it with dummy consumer secret - but it's ugly. Do you agree?
Yes, I agree that having that check during the constructor phase doesn't make sense for a provider. I'll figure out a solution and update Net::OAuth in the next day or two. Thanks for the feedback! k. On Tue Jun 30 05:19:44 2009, CATONE wrote: Show quoted text

Thank you very much.
Hi, I encounter the same problem with the need to use dummy value while constructing the object. It would be maybe cleaner to have the check performed only on the sign/verify call if any. This is not a blocking issue but it would still be a little simpler and more efficient to use with such a modification. Thanks, Mathias
