Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Scribe behind a proxy?

Yes. Do this

System.setProperty("java.net.useSystemProxies", "true");

if that doesn’t work, this website might provide some insight

When will you support “INSERT_API_HERE” ?

If it’s a 1.0a Api, probably you can do it yourself by extending Default10Api and defining the endpoints. If it has something weird, file a ticket and I’ll see what I can do

Does Scribe support OAuth 2.0 ? And Facebook’s Api ?

Indeed we do sir! since 1.1.0

You are an idiot for using java http classes instead of apache commons http

Maybe I am. But every time I started to think about commons, I preferred java http classes (they are not as bad as everyone thinks) over the extra dependencies that http commons imply.

Do you support XAuth ? What about OAuth WRAP ?

No. These protocols differ quite a lot from OAuth 1 and 2. Although I’d love to make Scribe the de-facto library for all signing protocols, here it’s not practical. You are better off using a dedicate library for those 2 (and other strange variations)

Your work is great! I’d be glad to support your efforts

Seems there is no easy way in github to accept donations, and I’m too lazy to set something up. Just be good and help others if they need to, that should do.

Is there a mailing list ?

No. Email me directly at fernandezpablo85 at gmail dot com

How do I get notified of releases/changes ?

You can poll the donwloads page or follow me on twitter (@fernandezpablo)
