REST API support (and OAuth too)

[Mike Kerner]

The dropbox library also uses oauth - but 1, not 2

There CAN be issues with REST API's, if the site in question implements TLS
a certain way.  I have a bug report in on this, but the team hasn't dealt
with it, yet, presumably because it's a PITA to figure out, and they seem
to think it's caused by misconfigured servers on the receiving end.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
