Re: [OAUTH-WG] Extra "Authorization: Basic" lines in examples

Mike - I don't think that's true for the resource owner password
credentials flow that you showed below.

The Authorization header is authenticating the client, the
username/password POST body params represent the resource owner.

In sections 4.1.3, 4.3.2, 4.4.2, and 6 of draft -20, the examples contain
both the line “Authorization: Basic czZCaGRSa3F0MzpnWDFmQmF0M2JW” and
credentials in the post body.  For instance, the example from 4.3.2 is:

     POST /token HTTP/1.1
     Host: server.example.com
     Authorization: Basic czZCaGRSa3F0MzpnWDFmQmF0M2JW
     Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8

     grant_type=password&username=johndoe&password=A3ddj3w

I believe that the “Authorization: Basic czZCaGRSa3F0MzpnWDFmQmF0M2JW” line
should be deleted from all of these examples, as you either use Basic or
credentials in the post body, but not both.

                                                            Thanks,
                                                            -- Mike
