Why can't Emacs behave like a web app?
I used OAuth 1 which had a similarly annoying feature. It made it very
unlikely for users to try my code and I got many bug reports. So I hope
we can avoid it.
The OAuth 2 spec (I found it at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-22)
seems to provide for a seamless experience where the user authenticates
against a server and then the security code is fed back to the client
application through a redirect. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the flow;
my question is simply "if there's information Emacs knows, can you
please avoid asking the user to retype it?"
I hope I don't have to know how to implement OAuth2 in order to
understand your answer to that question.
