Is Piston ready for OAuth?

Question

I tried using Piston for a simple API, hoping to use its OAuth support. But the first time I hit the endpoint after enabling OAuth, I got an error:

TemplateDoesNotExist: oauth/challenge.html

and sure enough, there is no such file.

Does OAuth work in Piston? Am I making a stupid mistake?

@Ned - think you just accepted my answer - did you ever confirm it being a bug in Piston? — Dominic Rodger, Jan 27 '10 at 14:10

Nope - that looks like a bug in Piston. oauth/challenge.html is referenced here, but does not exist anywhere in that project (see Piston's templates folder).

Could you try creating an empty oauth/challenge.html file somewhere in one of your directories specified in TEMPLATE_DIRS setting?

It's not really a bug. For reusable apps, you're supposed to write your own templates. – oliland Jun 14 '10 at 14:01
@oliland - for some things yeah, but surely not for issuing an oauth challenge? – Dominic Rodger Jun 14 '10 at 14:23

The challenge method in the authentication object is called when checking is_authenticated fails. I haven't tested this, but I am led to believe that challenge.html is most likely rendered when authorization has failed and an error needs to be displayed.

This is only a guess, but I think that it makes sense.
