Use Rook to optionally capture auth response #3

Description

@noahhl

Since most oauth implementations are designed for web applications, the auth flow for R apps is a little inconvenient -- you get sent to a webpage to authorize, and then need to extract the verifier from the callback URL you're sent to.

Rook (https://github.com/jeffreyhorner/rRack) could offer a way around this -- optionally, you could spin up a Rook app to provide the callback URL and capture the verifier. This would make "1 click" authorization possible.

Downside is that this would require R 2.13.0 or greater, accessibility of a high port to an external IP, etc.
