Delphi OAuth authentication

I made an application that works with the twitter API to generate tweets. Now I want to expand my application but to do the things I want in my application I have to authenticate with the twitter API.

The best example I found was here But I can't seem to figure out how I can authenticate.

Is there anyone that has experience with this or if there is a good reliable OAuth class for delphi? I dont consider the class in the example from the link as reliable since this post is from 2009. If you can prove me wrong, please do :)

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have made that same search myself a few months ago and come up empty handed. A similar question recently arose on the ADUG mailing list, and again to no avail.

I don't believe that there is a publicly available Delphi library for OAuth and/or Open Id. IMHO, this is an open source project ripe for development by some-one with the time and motivation.
