I do not support adoption of this draft. OAuth 1 failed because of the
complexity of HTTP Signing and the resulting difficulty of achieving interop.
draft-ietf-oauth-signed-http-request was abandoned by the working group
recognizing that it was resurrecting equivalent complexity to OAuth 1. The
proposed new draft is a third crack at the same thing that’s not sufficiently
differentiated from the previous failed efforts in my mind to warrant us
spending time on it.
Also, note we do have draft-ietf-oauth-dpop, which solves the actual
proof-of-possession problem for OAuth in a narrowly targeted, focused manner.
That draft is active and in good shape. We don’t need a more general, more
complicated draft solving the same problem.
