Speed up OAUTH_AUTO_REDIRECT redirection

[lyallcooper]

I currently have OAUTH_AUTO_REDIRECT enabled, which works well, but it lingers a bit on the Tinyauth login page. Would it be possible to reduce the amount of time spent on the tinyauth page and instead immediately redirect to the OAuth provider?

Not really. This is because when you go to the login page the frontend has to check if it has the redirect URI (OAuth auto redirect works only when a redirect URI is set), wait for the backend to return the OAuth URL, go to the OAuth URL, go back to the continue page to confirm and finally redirect to your app. It's quite a solid workflow but maybe I could skip the frontend altogether when auto redirect is enabled. Will look into it.

Yeah I figured it is the way it is because the redirect is being done by the front end. But it’d be great if it could all be done on the backend and avoid the current waiting. Thanks for considering it!

Also not sure if this would be an appropriate task for a first time contributor, but I would be happy to take a crack at it assuming it’s nothing too complex.
