Description

Hi!

What's involved with making oauth work (either oauth1, for which there is a WP API plugin plugin, or OAuth 2 for which there is a standalone plugin) with this plugin instead of standard HTTP authentication?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how existing WordPress OAuth plugins (OAuth1 via WP API plugin, OAuth2 via standalone plugin) modify HTTP requests. Determine how to integrate token handling into node wpapi's authentication flow. Implement support for both OAuth1 and OAuth2 by allowing custom authentication handlers.
