5.4.8 of the spec regarding refreshing the access toke (http://oauth-

"
Upon receiving the HTTP 401 response when accessing protected resource
per §4, the Client makes an HTTPS request to the Authorization
Server's Refresh Token URL using POST. The request contains the
following parameters:

wrap_client_id
REQUIRED. The Client Identifier

wrap_client_secret
REQUIRED. The Client Secret

wrap_refresh_token
REQUIRED. The Refresh Token that was received in 5.3.4
"

Was this meant to be a server to server call or the clients browser
posting to the providers server?

Hi Jason -

This is intended to be a server to server call. The wrap_client_secret is
used to authenticate the client, which makes it unsafe to send to the user's
browser.

Hope that helps
Allen

Thanks, this is what I assumed, but wanted to double check. I have another question about 5.3 of the spec, but I'll start another thread.

Thanks again,
