OAuth2 PostMessage Flow

Implementation of a postMessage-based secure channel for cross-domain
communication for OAuth2. Written in Javascript.

Project homepage:
http://code.google.com/p/oauth2-postmessage-profile/

Discussion:
https://groups.google.com/group/oauth2-postmessage-profile


Dependencies:

The library depends upon but does not include the following features
from the Apache Shindig project:

gadgets.rpc: an abstraction of postMessage with some additional
    portability to pre-postMessage browsers.

shindig.random: a pseudo-random number generator better than
    Math.random().

shindig.uri: URI parsing library.


File overview:

COPYING: A copy of the Apache License, Version 2.0.

src/client: This directory contains a library implementing the client
    (relying party) side of the proposed OAuth 2 PostMessage Flow.

examples/app: This directory contains an example application using the
    OAuth 2 postMessage flow. The example application fetches a copy
    of the required Shindig features from a Google web server at
    runtime. To run this sample you will need to sign up for a new
    OAuth 2 client ID, enable the Buzz API, and set app.config.CLIENT
    in examples/app/app_config.js to match.

    See documentation for Google's experimental OAuth 2 implementation
    here:

    http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OAuth2.html

    You will need to follow the instructions in the "Registering your
    app with Google" section and you will need to enable the
    experimental Google Buzz API for your app. See

    http://code.google.com/apis/buzz/docs/

    for more information on the Google Buzz API.

examples/cfg: This directory contains sample configuration information
    for the client library to use Google's OAuth 2 servers and the
    Google Buzz API. You will need to modify this configuration to use
    a different identity provider.
