several people have contacted me, because they wanted to use the graph
API of Facebook with PuREST JSON. Unfortunately, Facebook uses OAuth
2.0, and liboauth (and therefore PuREST JSON) only supports OAuth 1.1 -
and even this not completely as signing requests with RSA-SHA1 keys is
not implemented yet.

I am willing to switch the backend library for OAuth, but I have not
found one that implements version 2.0, and I am not willing to implement
this version all by myself, as the specs are ... let's say very
enterprisy (http://hueniverse.com/2012/07/oauth-2-0-and-the-road-to-hell/).

So, either liboauth will support OAuth 2.0 sometime in the future, or
another library emerges that will support version 2.0 (is there
something available?). Until then, unfortunately only the Facebook API
will work with PuREST JSON:

Thank you,
Thomas
