> Subject: [OAUTH-WG] expired access token : deserves unique code?
> 
> As far as I can tell (which isn't very far on many Friday afternoons), there 
> is no
> way for a client to distinguish an expired access token from a revoked,
> malformed, etc token as the invalid_token error parameter value
> encompasses multiple scenarios.  Of course, a client could parse the
> error_description, but this is an optional parameter with no guaranty of a
> common value among providers.
> 
> Given that the client would want to make an explicit decision to request
> another access token using a refresh token (if available), would it not 
> benefit
> clients if a specific error parameter value was defined for this scenario?
