The OAuth2 implementation does not depend on a particular transport class.
It assumes a TFPWebclient instance (one exists for FPC httpclient, and for
synapse)

The TOAuth2Handler class "signs" a request made with TFPWebclient. 
For this it may send additional HTTP(s) requests to handle the OAuth2 token flow.

You can see this in action in the OData examples and in the google api
examples.
