The beginners guide for oauth says the following:
Binary data is not directly handled by
the OAuth specification but is assumed
to be stored in an 8bit array which is
not UTF-8 encoded.
I don’t understand what is meant by this? How do you store binary in an 8bit array? The wikipedia article on bit array didn’t help me.
8-bit array most likely means an array with byte-sized elements or, an array of bytes. Where a byte consists of 8-bits, or one octet. The data region that the array encompasses is then said to be byte-addressable.
