REST client that can handle login via oauth

I am working as a tester on a system based on a Rest API. Part of my job is to use different applications to POST files to the Rest API and then accessing the API directly via a Rest Client to verify that the XML is correct.

So far I have been using the RESTClient firefox add-on.

But now we are getting rid of our old login in favour of Oauth. This all good and all but it makes testing harder since I can't ( don't know how? ) how to access the Rest API using the REST client I am using. And I don't know of any other REST client that can do this.

I need a REST Client/REST browser that can handle login via oauth.

Update:
Hi. I am still looking for more good REST Clients that can handle Oauth. So if you know any I would appreciate a post below.

I was also looking for such a thing and since this question things seem to have moved on a bit.

I'm using Chrome and the REST Console extension works brilliantly for me:

I'm author of RESTClient, and I already started to develop a new version of RESTClient (version 1.4.0). The new version will support oAuth 2.0. And it will be released in April.
