Hi all,
I've found that insomnia.rest is a neat way of testing token-protected REST APIs. It's also a nice way to generate tokens quickly, so I submitted a pull request that allows it to generate SciTokens:
<https://github.com/getinsomnia/insomnia/pull/1768>
Jeff, I noticed that the Java client adds a random nonce and a random state when requesting a token. Insomnia only adds a state, but no nonce. My understanding is that since we're not using the implicit flow, that's OK. Am I correct?
Cheers,
Duncan.
