GET oauth/authenticate
Allows a Consumer application to use an OAuth
request_token to request user authorization.
This method is a replacement of Section 6.2 of the OAuth 1.0 authentication
flow for applications using the callback authentication flow. The
method will use the currently logged in user as the account for access
authorization unless the force_login parameter is set to
true.
This method differs from GET oauth / authorize in that if the user has already granted the application permission, the redirect will occur without the user having to re-approve the application. To realize this behavior, you must enable the Use Sign in with Twitter setting on your application record.
