1 ## The "S" is for "Signs" ##
3 *SOAuth* is a Ruby library that **creates HTTP headers for OAuth Authorization**
4 using previously-obtained OAuth keys/secrets. Useful if you want to make your
5 own HTTP request objects instead of using the ones created for you using the
6 [commonly-used OAuth gem](security/ruby-oauth).
8 It should be noted that this was developed without edge cases in mind -- it was
9 pretty much abstracted from my "by-hand" signing of OAuth requests in [Prey
10 Fetcher](http://preyfetcher.com), so don't consider it production-quality code
11 (though it [is running in production](http://preyfetcher.com)).
