The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6749,
"The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework".

You may review the report below and at:

--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: James Manger <james.h.manger@team.telstra.com>

Section: 5.1, 4.2.2

Original Text
-------------
expires_in
         RECOMMENDED.  The lifetime in seconds of the access token.  For
         example, the value "3600" denotes ...

Corrected Text
--------------
expires_in
         RECOMMENDED.  The lifetime in seconds of the access token.  For
         example, the value 3600 denotes ...

Notes
-----
The "expires_in" member in JSON must be a numeric value, not a string. Unfortunately quite a few implementations have got this wrong. A likely reason is the quoted value "3600" in the RFC where "expires_in" is defined. The quotes in the text version of the RFC are only an artefact of the marked-up as a protocol value in the RFC production chain.

Instructions:

This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party
