Just return HTTP 5xx. We needed the special error code because of the redirection flow.

Subject: [OAUTH-WG] Error code for access token request

Hi *,

Error response for Authorization Request defines some kind of server error code response:


server_error

               The authorization server encountered an unexpected

               condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.



as in [0].



I was wondering if would be possible/useful having same for error code for access token request [1]



WDYT?



Regards



Antonio
