Description Lukas Jungmann 2008-08-31 18:54:20 UTC 
for S3 services we use "Header Signing" auth. mechanism which means that at the end our generated authenticator is
setting "Authorization" header for the request. I think it would be an improvement if would do the same for Twitter &
Delicious services - the only difference is that S3 requires more complicated encoding than Tw&Del - for these two it is
enough to use Base64 (so the header will be ie. "Authorization: Basic <Base64.encode(username:password)>"
