Go HTTP handlers that adds OAuth 2.0 authorization framework to enable a third-party application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service, either on behalf of a resource owner by orchestrating an approval interaction between the resource owner and the HTTP service, or by allowing the third-party application to obtain access on its own behalf.
The goauth-handlers verifies that the current user has the necessary OAuth authorization to continue further. This library compares the OAuth token, stored in the session of the current user, and verifies that it has not expired and has the necessary rights. If that is not the case, response with the proper HTTP response code is sent or forwards the user to a remote OAuth Authorization server as per the Authorization Grant flow.
At this point in time, the goauth-handlers uses a client Cookie to store the user's session and OAuth information (including token). In order to keep things secure, all session information is encrypted in the cookie so that the user cannot tamper with the data.
