2.2. Request Object URI

2.2. Request Object URI

A Request Object URI is an absolute URI that references the set of parameters comprising an OAuth 2.0 authorization request. The content of the resource referenced by the URI is a Request Object (Section 2.1), unless the URI was provided to the client by the same authorization server, in which case the content is an implementation detail at the discretion of the authorization server. The content being a Request Object is to ensure interoperability in cases where the provider of the request_uri is a separate entity from the consumer, such as when a client provides a URI referencing a Request Object stored on the client's backend service that is made accessible via HTTPS. In the latter case, where the authorization server is both provider and consumer of the URI, such as when it offers an endpoint that provides a URI in exchange for a Request Object, this interoperability concern does not apply.
