Signature Generation Sample about dotnetopenauth HOT 4 CLOSED

What is the scenario behind why you want to generate signatures for anything other than outgoing or incoming network requests?

from dotnetopenauth.

In my case I'm using MVC to handle the requests, and it's designed in such a way that it can handle requests from a website (people logged-in with regular forms-based auth) and OAuth-based requests. So, I'm handling the incoming network requests myself so that I can re-use the same actions in both places (somewhat similar to how you'd use ActiveResource in Rails).

That sounds good. Using the same actions regardless of authorization method is definitely a good idea. It seems that an HTTP authorization module (or whatever the MVC-friendly equivalent is) would be an appropriate fit here. For instance, one of the DNOA samples includes an OAuth HTTP authorization module that works in conjunction with the module that does forms based auth. Yet no custom signature method was needed -- just what DNOA offered out of the box.
