<h3>Description:</h3>
<p>This module provides support for more advanced authentication mechanisms<br>
using the Drupal Feeds module. <a href="http://drupal.org/project/feeds">http://drupal.org/project/feeds</a></p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<p>Most notably, this can be used for feeds requiring a 2-step authentication<br>
where the first request passes authentication credentials, and then the<br>
server returns a form of security tokens to be passed in future reqeusts.</p>
<p>The credentials, and return token keys to look for is fully configurable<br>
in the Fetcher settings for your Feed. The communication protocol is also<br>
configurable, plain &url=var and json posting is supported currently.</p>
<h3>Use Cases</h3>
<ul>
<li>Your feed requires a more advanced authentication mechanism than what Feeds Basic HTTP Fetcher provides.</li>
<li>Your feed requires specific key|value pairs for authentication.</li>
<li>Your feed requires a JSON post of credentials to authenticate.</li>
<li>Your feed uses a 2-step authentication. You post credentials, it authenticates and returns security tokens to you which you then have to pass in subsequent calls.</li>
</ul>

<p>Notes about Coder report:<br>
<strong>"all functions should be prefixed with your module": </strong><br>
It follows this in everywhere except the http_aa_request.inc where it follows Feeds' pattern of naming.</p>
<p><strong>"Class property $file_path should use lowerCamel naming without underscores":</strong><br>
Again, here it is following Feeds' other classes naming patterns.</p>
