In https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-jwsreq-19#section-6, it 
is stated that an error is to be returned when the object request is 
invalid. These errors are "invalid_request_uri" and 
"invalid_request_object".

However, to which redirect URI redirect in the following cases:
* the request object is invalid (eg. invalid signature), should we still 
use client_id/redirect_uri of the invalid request object?
* the request URI could not be reached
* the request object is encrypted and cannot be decrypted (bad key)

Would it be acceptable to use the "client_id" and "redirect_uri" request 
query parameters in such a case? Although it contradicts the current 
specification which states that they shall not be used, and it would 
defeat confidentiality when using encryption.

Another option is not redirecting and displaying the error message on 
the AS, like when the client_id is unknown for instance.

Also I don't get the example in 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-jwsreq-19#section-5.2.2 :

      https://server.example.com/authorize?
        response_type=code%20id_token
        &client_id=s6BhdRkqt3
        &request_uri=https%3A%2F%2Ftfp.example.org%2Frequest.jwt
        %23GkurKxf5T0Y-mnPFCHqWOMiZi4VS138cQO_V7PZHAdM
        &state=af0ifjsldkj

in regards to the following statement in 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-jwsreq-19#section-5 :

    The client MAY send the parameters included in the request object
    duplicated in the query parameters as well for the backward
    compatibility etc.  However, the authorization server supporting this
    specification MUST only use the parameters included in the request
    object.

My understanding is that "response_type", "client_id" and "state" will 
be ignored by a JAR-compliant OAuth2 server. Isn't it confusing to add 
them to the example?

Maybe I've missed something?

Regards,
