Hey OAuth group,

While I though I knew this, I was looking closely at the OAuth 2.0 spec
and read that valid values of the client_id are specified as:

VSCHAR = %x20-7E
client-id = *VSCHAR

This means that the client-id may also contain whitespace characters.

Do I get that right?

Thanks for your insights,

Mark
