If a refresh token is the only way to obtain an access token with corresponding secret than making refresh tokens an optional result parameter will not suffice.

How shall the client indicate that it requires a request token? From my point of view, either refresh tokens become a mandatory parameter or the client is given an input parameter to indicate its desire with every flow.

My suggestion is to add "secret_type" to all flows and to issue request tokens where they are really needed. In all flows, where user interaction takes place or user credentials are processed.

My impression is, the API design is slowly getting weird because we want to circumvent this single parameter.

Torsten.

Sure, this seems sensible, especially with the *optional* part.
