Does anyone know if it is possible to use the Firefox Poster extension for restful web services with "User Auth:" credentials that are non-Google?

So, what kind of authentication are we talking about? HTTP Basic Auth? OAuth 1.0? OAuth 2.0? They are all very different... – Wladimir Palant Jun 01 '12 at 06:29

The Poster extension currently supports only HTTP Basic Auth and authorization by Google login. For OAuth you would need to get an access token yourself and add an Authorization header manually - not trivial, especially for OAuth 1.0. Feel free to ask the extension author about OAuth support or (better) propose an implementation yourself.

Thanks for your quick response. I have been able to generate the access token but I'm not sure of how to use it within poster. – Ronnie Phelps Jun 19 '12 at 01:19
