[*] For OAuth Discovery, this is the "protected resource". It may - be more correct that the protected resource is the postNotice URL - (see below), but the listener will be more familiar with their own - profile URL.

The secret should be the blank -string (''), unless the remote server and local service have negotiated -another key. Such negotiation is out-of-scope for this document, and we -assume an "open" network of microblogging services.

The - local service MAY reject listenees if their licenses are - incompatible with the service. - -The remote service should send as many of the following parameters as -possible.

[*]_ If the request returns -a 403 Unauthorized message, the remote service SHOULD NOT post -messages to the same URL again with the same listenee, until another -listener has gone through the OAuth dance.
