["Scott Wilson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-142?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12864683#action_12864683 ] 

Scott Wilson commented on WOOKIE-142:
-------------------------------------

Yes, in general there needs to be a mechanism for Wookie acting as an oAuth proxy - if nothing else you don't want to distribute widgets with their token and secret in plain view.

> This is just a first stab to extending the same methods as Flickr and YouTube widgets into Twitter... 
> It works for read only right now (search by Tweet text or User tweets)
> For Tweeting/status updates, there is a slight problem with the authentication in the OAuth signing directly from Javascript via the OAuth JS library, so, this may be one case of a widget which does require a server-side OAuth proxy to relay access tokens securely (although, I have seen Yahoo! YQL used to authenticate remotely to Twitter, so it may still be possible)
