Web::Solid::Auth - A Perl Sold Web Client

SYNOPSIS

    use Web::Solid::Auth;
    use Web::Solid::Auth::Listener;

    # Create a new authenticator for a pod
    my $auth = Web::Solid::Auth->new(webid => $webid);

    # Or tune a listerner
    my $auth = Web::Solid::Auth->new(
          webid     => $webid ,
          listener => Web::Solid::Auth::Listener->new(
                scheme => 'https'
                host   => 'my.server.org'
                port   => '443' ,
                path   => '/mycallback'
          )
    );

    # Or, in case you have your own callback server
    my $auth = Web::Solid::Auth->new(
          webid         => $webid,
          redirect_uri => 'https://my.server.org/mycallback'
    );

    # Generate a url for the user to authenticate
    my $auth_url = $auth->make_authorization_request;

    # Listen for the oauth server to return tokens
    # the built-in listener for feedback from the openid provider
    # Check the code of Web::Solid::Auth::Listener how to
    # do this inside your own Plack application
    $auth->listen;

    ####

    # If you already have access_tokens from previous step
    if ($auth->has_access_token) {
        # Fetch the Authentication and DPoP HTTP headers for a
        # request to an authorized resource
        my $headers = $auth->make_authentication_headers($resource_url,$http_method);

        #..do you curl..lwp::agent..or what ever with the headers
    }
