[Openid-specs-mobile-profile] CIBA New text regarding HTTP status code during Client Notification.

What is missing is the rationale for OPs not following redirects. There shouldn't be any security issue, as long as redirects are to HTTPS.

If there is a real risk, then explain it and say OPs MUST NOT follow redirects.

If it is a reasonable policy by some OPs to minimise what they support to minimise attack surface, say Clients SHOULD NOT return redirects.

If it is OPs trying to avoid some effort then drop the whole line. Expect OPs to support normal HTTP that includes supporting redirects.

How about:
https://bitbucket.org/openid/mobile/commits/6f5c9035ca46d657ce75be1cf87f64a8ef7dc112

         <t>
           The Client Notification Endpoint SHOULD response with a HTTP 204 No Content.
-          The OP SHOULD accept HTTP 200 OK and any body in the response SHOULD be ignored.
+          The OP SHOULD also accept HTTP 200 OK and any body in the response SHOULD be ignored.
         </t>
         <t>
-          The  SHOULD    HTTP 3xx .
-      .
+          The Client SHOULD NOT return an HTTP 3xx code. The OP SHOULD NOT follow redirects.
         </t>

Suggest tweaks:

+        <t>
+          The Client Notification Endpoint SHOULD respond with HTTP 204 No Content.
+          The OP SHOULD also accept HTTP 200 OK, ignoring any response body.
+        </t>
+        <t>
+          The Client SHOULD NOT return an HTTP 3xx code as the OP might not follow redirects.
+        </t>
+        <t>
+          How the OP handles HTTP error codes in the ranges of 4xx and 5xx is out-of-range of this specification.
+          Administrative action is like to be needed in these cases.
+        </t>
