Encoding of Issuer Initiated Issuance Requests

[Torsten Lodderstedt]

The question came up how we best encode IIIRs. We started with URI encoding, now changed in PR#240 to JSON (to convey an array in a robust fashion). But we could also use a hybrid approach, like OpenID Connect Core choose with the claims parameter. Additionally, there is the question how to encode the JSON pieces, URL encoding or Base64URL encoding.

sorry, why is claims parameter relevant here?

Why can’t we have one approach of a base64url encoded JSON object?

[Kristina Yasuda]

we currently do URL encoding - Torsten and I think it should be that way.

[Michael Jones]

I think the current use of a JSON object, and encoding it with form-url encoding for transmission, is a good solution.

[Kristina Yasuda]

agree among editors with Tobias to keep the current approach
