Is oauth (for twitter/or in general) safe over http -

i'm thinking of implementing twitter login website. i'm using library takes care of everything. on first step: retrieving request token, twitter strongly recommends you utilize https oauth authorization steps.

one more question, oauth_token twitter send alter on every request? , when twitter sends access token array, values alter next time user logs in-- inquire because want save them in database.

i see lot of websites not using https. question, safe utilize oauth without https?

i'd no, it's not secure utilize regular http oauth. relatively simple man in middle attack on logins don't utilize https. many people have complained of having twitter , facebook accounts hacked method. many people, such myself, utilize browser plugins forcefulness sites twitter , facebook automatically onto https when available. attack particularly prevalent people utilize wireless internet. shared wireless such in cafe, hotel or airport.
