Hey everyone,

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-7 provides examples of MAC and
Bearer tokens being supplied when accessing a protected resource. It also
mentions that it is up to each type of token to define additional
parameters. However it is not quite clear whether there exists a
recommended/intended way of differentiating the token type of any
particular request as the token_type parameter is not supplied.

Consider a bearer token supplied as the access_token query component. Then
I invent and register Bearer+ which in addition has the plus query
component. Then later Super Bearer is created with the additional super
query component. The only way to differentiate would be to inspect present
parameters and make an educated guess.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,
Ib
