I would be interested in this as well. My work block twitter.com and I loved
dabr before the OAuth

I'm aware that Dabr has fans in the workplace, in schools and generally behind
content filtering. Unfortunately, the change to OAuth is a decision by Twitter
that we can't avoid without introducing some insecure concepts to the login.
If a method arises that makes this possible then we'll be sure to add it.

Thanks David, I thought that might have been the answer but you never know
until you try :-P

tried using a proxy? once you get the oauth, you won't need it

I read that Yegle had done a patch which got around OAuth. Is that in his
branch version (downloaded but got 401s and 'Login credentials incorrect') or
is that available elsewhere?

I've changed my mind. This is such a crucial feature of Dabr that it's worth
making drastic changes for :)
I'm not a fan of the OAuth "patch" method as it's fairly insecure. Instead I've
come up with the following process that I intend to add (at some point, no
timescale given):
1) Log in to Dabr from your PC at home (or whatever device can use OAuth)
2) Assign yourself a PIN/password, which Dabr saves along with your OAuth
details
3) You can log in later from your phone using your username and Dabr
PIN/password and it just grabs your OAuth details from storage on the server.
Benefits:
* Dabr still never gets to see your Twitter password
* Everyone behind a school/work/general firewall can carry on using Dabr
* It's entirely secure even on Dabr mirrors

That's the spirit!
You're standing up for those trapped beneath the jackboot of oppression, and
also people in Iran, China etc :-P

I've coded a solution for this but it will have to wait until tomorrow for
release.
