Oauth2 with Reddit

See original GitHub issue

I had to added the following after line 163 in oauth2.js (method getOAuthAccessToken) to get Reddit to work:

   'Authorization' : 'Basic ' + new Buffer(this._clientId + ':' + this._clientSecret).toString('base64') ,

This header addition did not seem to break Instagram or Google Oauth2.

You can override the prototype – a lot of Passport strategies are currently doing so and so is Reddit : https://github.com/Slotos/passport-reddit/blob/master/lib/passport-reddit/strategy.js –> see the comment

// Reddit token endpoint expects basic auth header "with the consumer key as the username
// and the consumer secret as the password". To comply we are resorting to overriding
// node-oauth's implmentation of getOAuthAccessToken().
