Hi Rex,

the document <draft-ietf-oauth-v2-http-mac-05> has been superseded by
the PoP work (which was subsequently split into various other documents).

That, however, does not mean that the content is dead. The mechanism for
the authorization server to convey the symmetric key to the client is
now documented in <draft-ietf-oauth-pop-key-distribution>. The high
level description / overview is now documented in
<draft-ietf-oauth-pop-architecture>. The actual mechanism for the client
to apply the key to the request to the resource server is now documented
in <draft-ietf-oauth-signed-http-request>.

While < draft-ietf-oauth-signed-http-request> today is different to the
mechanism described in <draft-ietf-oauth-v2-http-mac-05> it also has to
be said that it is the weakest document in the entire document set at
the moment.

So, there is still a chance to incorporate your design requirements into
the appropriate parts of the work since the work is still in progress.

It would be good to know what your requirements/interests are.

Ciao
Hannes
