Hi John

Thanks, looks like it was a last minute change because Introduction does not explain why would clients want to use the introspection endpoint to effectively 'unwrap' the opaque token representations.

I have another question. How to report the expiry time in cases when the tokens do not expire ? I'm aware of some deployments where access tokens are only manually deleted and otherwise would not expire.

Perhaps not reporting the expiry time is equivalent to the token never expiring ? Or may be reporting 0 or -1 works ?

Thanks, Sergey

The ability to pass a refresh token is a legacy of that.    A RS would never 
have a refresh token unless it is acting as a client.  That is correct.

Hi All,

I'm reviewing RFC 7622 as we are going ahead with implementing it.
I have a question:

1. Token Hint in the introspection request.
The spec mentions 'refresh_token' as one of the possible values. But a 
protected resource does not see a refresh token (ever ?), it is Access Token 
service which does.
When would a protected resource use a 'refresh_token' hint when requesting an 
introspection response ?

Thanks, Sergey
