 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for the great work.
 * Sorry if my question as already been asked, but I can’t get no confirmation on
   this point.
 * I’m trying to understand if there is a way to build an api for external clients
   wich can be used without having to login on the wp-login.php.
 * I read the note in your documentation :
 * > Note: Currently with WP OAuth Server and WP REST API, you MUST either use OAuth
   > or traditional cookies (normal WP login). You CAN NOT use both at the same 
   > time. When using WP OAuth Server, ensure you are logged out of WordPress.
 * But I’ve been trying to authenticate via an external php client, using CURL, 
   and I’m always redirected to the wp login form…
 * Am I getting wrong somewhere? Is that possible with your plugin?
