+<h3><a name="3.2.0.3">Purpose</a></h3>
+<p>This class serves two main purposes:</p>
+<p> 1) Implement the OAuth protocol to retrieve a token from a server to authorize the access to an API on behalf of the current user.</p>
+<p> 2) Perform calls to a Web services API using a token previously obtained using this class or a token provided some other way by the Web services provider.</p>
+<h3><a name="3.2.0.4">Usage</a></h3>
+<p>Regardless of your purposes, you always need to start calling the class <tt><a href="#function_Initialize">Initialize</a></tt> function after initializing setup variables. After you are done with the class, always call the <tt><a href="#function_Finalize">Finalize</a></tt> function at the end.</p>
+<p> This class supports either OAuth protocol versions 1.0, 1.0a and 2.0. It abstracts the differences between these protocol versions, so the class usage is the same independently of the OAuth version of the server.</p>
+<p> The class also provides built-in support to several popular OAuth servers, so you do not have to manually configure all the details to access those servers. Just set the <tt><a href="#variable_server">server</a></tt> variable to configure the class to access one of the built-in supported servers.</p>
+<p> If you need to access one type of server that is not yet directly supported by the class, you need to configure it explicitly setting the variables: <tt><a href="#variable_oauth_version">oauth_version</a></tt>, <tt><a href="#variable_url_parameters">url_parameters</a></tt>, <tt><a href="#variable_authorization_header">authorization_header</a></tt>, <tt><a href="#variable_request_token_url">request_token_url</a></tt>, <tt><a href="#variable_dialog_url">dialog_url</a></tt>, <tt><a href="#variable_offline_dialog_url">offline_dialog_url</a></tt>, <tt><a href="#variable_append_state_to_redirect_uri">append_state_to_redirect_uri</a></tt> and <tt><a href="#variable_access_token_url">access_token_url</a></tt>.</p>
+<p> Before proceeding to the actual OAuth authorization process, you need to have registered your application with the OAuth server. The registration provides you values to set the variables <tt><a href="#variable_client_id">client_id</a></tt> and <tt><a href="#variable_client_secret">client_secret</a></tt>.</p>
+<p> You also need to set the variables <tt><a href="#variable_redirect_uri">redirect_uri</a></tt> and <tt><a href="#variable_scope">scope</a></tt> before calling the <tt><a href="#function_Process">Process</a></tt> function to make the class perform the necessary interactions with the OAuth server.</p>
+<p> The OAuth protocol involves multiple steps that include redirection to the OAuth server. There it asks permission to the current user to grant your application access to APIs on his/her behalf. When there is a redirection, the class will set the <tt><a href="#variable_exit">exit</a></tt> variable to 1. Then your script should exit immediately without outputting anything.</p>
+<p> When the OAuth access token is successfully obtained, the following variables are set by the class with the obtained values: <tt><a href="#variable_access_token">access_token</a></tt>, <tt><a href="#variable_access_token_secret">access_token_secret</a></tt>, <tt><a href="#variable_access_token_expiry">access_token_expiry</a></tt>, <tt><a href="#variable_access_token_type">access_token_type</a></tt>. You may want to store these values to use them later when calling the server APIs.</p>
+<p> If there was a problem during OAuth authorization process, check the variable <tt><a href="#variable_authorization_error">authorization_error</a></tt> to determine the reason.</p>
+<p> Once you get the access token, you can call the server APIs using the <tt><a href="#function_CallAPI">CallAPI</a></tt> function. Check the <tt><a href="#variable_access_token_error">access_token_error</a></tt> variable to determine if there was an error when trying to to call the API.</p>
+<p> If for some reason the user has revoked the access to your application, you need to ask the user to authorize your application again. First you may need to call the function <tt><a href="#function_ResetAccessToken">ResetAccessToken</a></tt> to reset the value of the access token that may be cached in session variables.</p>

+<h3><a name="variable_error"></a><li><a name="5.2.31">error</a></li></h3>
+<h3>Type</h3>
+<p><tt><i>string</i></tt></p>
+<h3>Default value</h3>
+<p><tt>''</tt></p>
+<h3>Purpose</h3>
+<p>Store the message that is returned when an error occurs.</p>
+<h3>Usage</h3>
+<p>Check this variable to understand what happened when a call to any of the class functions has failed.</p>
+<p> This class uses cumulative error handling. This means that if one class functions that may fail is called and this variable was already set to an error message due to a failure in a previous call to the same or other function, the function will also fail and does not do anything.</p>
+<p> This allows programs using this class to safely call several functions that may fail and only check the failure condition after the last function call.</p>
+<p> Just set this variable to an empty string to clear the error condition.</p>

+<h3>Purpose</h3>
+<p>Control whether debug output is enabled</p>
+<h3>Usage</h3>
+<p>Set this variable to 1 if you need to check what is going on during calls to the class. When enabled, the debug output goes either to the variable <tt><a href="#variable_debug_output">debug_output</a></tt> and the PHP error log.</p>

+<h3>Default value</h3>
+<p><tt>''</tt></p>
+<h3>Purpose</h3>
+<p>Identify the type of OAuth server to access.</p>
+<h3>Usage</h3>
+<p>The class provides built-in support to several types of OAuth servers. This means that the class can automatically initialize several configuration variables just by setting this server variable.</p>
+<p> Currently it supports the following servers: 'Bitbucket', 'Box', 'Dropbox', 'Eventful', 'Facebook', 'Fitbit', 'Flickr', 'Foursquare', 'github', 'Google', 'Instagram', 'LinkedIn', 'Microsoft', 'Scoop.it', 'StockTwits', 'Tumblr', 'Twitter', 'XING' and 'Yahoo'. Please contact the author if you would like to ask to add built-in support for other types of OAuth servers.</p>
+<p> If you want to access other types of OAuth servers that are not yet supported, set this variable to an empty string and configure other variables with values specific to those servers.</p>
+<p><a href="#variables">Variables</a></p>
+<h3><a name="variable_request_token_url"></a><li><a name="5.2.38">request_token_url</a></li></h3>

+<h3>Default value</h3>
+<p><tt>''</tt></p>
+<h3>Purpose</h3>
+<p>URL of the OAuth server to request the initial token for OAuth 1.0 and 1.0a servers.</p>
+<h3>Usage</h3>
+<p>Set this variable to the OAuth request token URL when you are not accessing one of the built-in supported OAuth servers.</p>
+<p> For OAuth 1.0 and 1.0a servers, the request token URL can have certain marks that will act as template placeholders which will be replaced with given values before requesting the authorization token. Currently it supports the following placeholder marks:</p>
+<p> {SCOPE} - scope of the requested permissions to the granted by the OAuth server with the user permissions</p>
+<p><a href="#variables">Variables</a></p>
+<h3><a name="variable_dialog_url"></a><li><a name="5.2.39">dialog_url</a></li></h3>

+<h3>Purpose</h3>
+<p>URL of the OAuth server to redirect the browser so the user can grant access to your application.</p>
+<h3>Usage</h3>
+<p>Set this variable to the OAuth request token URL when you are not accessing one of the built-in supported OAuth servers.</p>
+<p> For certain servers, the dialog URL can have certain marks that will act as template placeholders which will be replaced with values defined before redirecting the users browser. Currently it supports the following placeholder marks:</p>
+<p> {REDIRECT_URI} - URL to redirect when returning from the OAuth server authorization page</p>
+<p> {CLIENT_ID} - client application identifier registered at the server</p>
+<p> {SCOPE} - scope of the requested permissions to the granted by the OAuth server with the user permissions</p>

+<p> 'RequestBody': request body data of a custom type. The 'RequestContentType' option must be specified, so the 'RequestBody' option is considered.</p>
+<p> 'RequestContentType': content type that should be used to send the request values. It can be either 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' for sending values like from Web forms, or 'application/json' for sending the values encoded in JSON format. Other types are accepted if the 'RequestBody' option is specified. The default value is 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.</p>
+<p> 'RequestBody': request body data of a custom type. The 'RequestContentType' option must be specified, so the 'RequestBody' option is considered.</p>
+<p> 'Resource': string with a label that will be used in the error messages and debug log entries to identify what operation the request is performing. The default value is 'API call'.</p>
+<p> 'ResponseContentType': content type that should be considered when decoding the API request response. This overrides the <tt>Content-Type</tt> header returned by the server. If the content type is 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' the function will parse the data returning an array of key-value pairs. If the content type is 'application/json' the response will be decode as a JSON-encoded data type. Other content type values will make the function return the original response value as it was returned from the server. The default value for this option is to use what the server returned in the <tt>Content-Type</tt> header.</p>
+<p><tt><b><a name="argument_CallAPI_response">response</a></b></tt> - Return the value of the API response.
