Accept params in the POST body as JSON

[bugant]

When creating a token accept params passed as JSON in the POST body

[jcoglan]

Where in the spec (this library implements draft-10) is it mandated that the provider server accept input as application/json?

[bugant]

It is indeed not mentioned in draft-10, though it could be useful. For example, ember-auth (https://github.com/heartsentwined/ember-auth) sends authorization requests in JSON format.

This would be very useful.

you may want to change

if media_type  == 'application/json'

to

if media_type  == 'application/json' && env['rack.input'].read.length > 0

Because if you are using it to authenticate an api, and a regular get request it will throw the error "json length must be at least two octets"

[jcoglan]

It may be very useful but it's not in the spec, and I think spec implementations should stick to what's documented so that people actually know what they do and aren't surprised.

If you want a JSON frontend, this can be quite easily done using a proxy or some Rack middleware.
