Hi,

I notice that the current OAuth2 draft seems to have browser redirects
baked in rather deeply.  Are there any plans to add support for flows
that don't involve HTTP redirects?  For example, it seems at the
moment that pure JavaScript applications aren't well-supported, as the
resource owner must be redirected to the authorization endpoint, thus
leaving the JS app.  Now of course trying to do the OAuth flow from
within the JS app (say by displaying the authorization endpoint within
an iframe) might expose phishing attacks, but one could imagine e.g. a
plugin that integrates with the browser in order to provide a
relatively unforgeable OAuth authorization endpoint.

More generally, does this sound like a use-case that OAuth would be
interested in supporting?

Thanks,
