Build qml + JS oauth verification process based on Xauth

This is a memo, because there are still many details that cannot be improved.

 

I wonder if you have such experience: in the case of developing third-party applications and using oauth verification, basically all web applications require launch webview and manual authorization and approval by users. In this case, WebKit must be enabled.

 

Xauth provides a streamlined oauth verification process. In fact, it still uses oauth verification, but it can save the process of request token and authorize token and directly use username + password to apply for access token, you do not need to start the web browser (saving WebKit overhead ).

 

Xauth provides a Javascript script that you can use with qml.

 

However, Xauth has the following restrictions:

1. Currently, only a few applications support Xauth: Twitter, Sina Weibo, and Netease Weibo, and cannot be applied to other web applications.

2. Authorization is generally required
