Method Detail

endorseRequest

boolean endorseRequest(String accessToken,
                     HttpURLConnection conn)
                       throws MiniAuthException,
                              IOException

"Signs" or "endorses" the request. In the context of OAuth, this method should be really called signRequest(). However, we (plan to) use this for other auth schemes, hence we use a more generic (but somewhat unusual name), "endorse".

Parameters:

accessToken - Auth token needed for making a request.

conn - URLConnection. conn is an "in-out" param.

Returns:

true if "endorsing" is successful.

Throws:

MiniAuthException

IOException
