[Openid-specs-ab] Minor spec bug in Basic client profile

[Mike Jones]

Hi Chuck,

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617#section-1.2 (where the Authorization header is defined) says "It uses an extensible, case-insensitive token to identify the authentication scheme...".  So either value is OK.  But I've filed http://hg.openid.net/connect/issue/732/all-capitalize-name-of-bearer to make this consistency change anyway.

Thanks for the report.  Are you reading the specs now to provide more feedback for the pending implementer's drafts? :)

                                                                -- Mike

Just noticed that the the basic client profile doc says the following:

token_type
REQUIRED. The value MUST be "bearer"


while rfc 6750 refers to this as

"Bearer"
Notice the capital B.
