The issues around redirect_uri seem muddled to me. Here's what I know right now: Brian Eaton apparently said: >This provides a defense against authorization codes which have leaked due to >open redirectors. I looked for "redirector" in http://tools.ietf.org/html//draft-lodderstedt-oauth-se

Section 7 of http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-15 gives examples of how to access protected resources. All of the examples use GET. Our protected resources are identified by a query, which might be a few kilobytes. I'm concerned that this may not fit inside the length limitation o

Hi, I've been out of this for a while working on something else. To get back in, I read through the latest draft and have some feedback. The fact that I've been paying attention to other things for a while means my feedback has a different slant from that of people who have been engaged. On the
