AuthorizationType for gadgets.io.makeRequest

This is just a request for guidance:
can anyone tell me what the difference is between SIGNED and OAUTH?
What kind of request does SIGNED make? 
Thanks
Justin

Justin,

Signed request, container will sign your request using oauth mechanism.
Server will need a public key in order to validate the request

<http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Validating_Signed_Requests>OAuth
request, you will use oauth mechanism to fetch data, and you will need to
pass some variables like
OAUTH_SERVICE_NAME, OAUTH_TOKEN_NAME, OAUTH_REQUEST_TOKEN,
OAUTH_REQUEST_TOKEN_SECRET.

Regards,

Robson
