When using OAuth and using TLS, do I still need to do all that ordering, concatenating and signing of the oauth_ params or is it considered secure already?
Thanks, Luke

Technically yes it is secure, but the oauth 1.0 spec still requires it. OAuth 2.0 does not require it, but it is optional and is used for a mac access token type. It all depends on what the service provider supports.
