Use oauth_middleware

handler oauth login middleware, use on connect, express.

/**
 * oauth middleware for connect
 *
 * example:
 *
 *  connect(
 *    connect.query(),
 *    connect.cookieParser(),
 *    connect.session({ secret: "oh year a secret" }),
 *    weibo.oauth()
 *  );
 *
 * @param {Object} options
 *   - `home_url`: use to create login success oauth_callback url with referer header, 
 *     default is `'http://' + req.headers.host`;
 *   - `login_path`: login url, default is '/oauth'
 *   - `logout_path`: default is '/oauth/logout'
 *   - `callback_path`: default is login_path + '_callback'
 *   - `blogtype_field`: default is 'blogtype', 
 *     if you want to connect weibo, login url should be '/oauth?blogtype=weibo'
 */

Example: A simple web with oauth login.

var connect = require('connect');
var weibo = require('../');

/**
 * init weibo api settings
 */ 

weibo.init('weibo', 'appkey', 'secret');

/**
 * Create a web application.
 */

var app = connect(
  connect.query(),
  connect.cookieParser(),
  connect.session({ secret: "oh year a secret" }),
  // using weibo.oauth middleware for use login
  // will auto save user in req.session.oauthUser
  weibo.oauth({
    login_path: '/login',
    logout_path: '/logout',
    blogtype_field: 'type'
  }),
  connect.errorHandler({ stack: true, dump: true })
);

app.use('/', function(req, res, next) {
  var user = req.session.oauthUser;
  res.writeHeader(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' });
  if (!user) {
    res.end('<a href="/login?type=weibo">Login</a> first, please.');
    return;
  }
  res.end('Hello, <a href="' + user.t_url + 
    '" target="_blank">@' + user.screen_name + '</a>. ' + 
    '<a href="/logout">Logout</a>');
});
