Thanks Nat.

It looks like draft-ietf-oauth-jwsreq-08.txt is breaking with OpenID
Connect in regard to

1. alg:none request JWTs being no longer permitted

2. HTTPS request_uri's becoming always required, though there is
confusion about that (see below).


I don't know if this is intentional.



Quoting the original Connect spec on alg:none:

http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#RequestObject

```
The Request Object MAY be signed or unsigned (plaintext). When it is
plaintext, this is indicated by use of the none algorithm [JWA]
<http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#JWA> in the JOSE
Header.
```


There is also confusion about the requirement to have HTTPS, which in
5.2 is conditionally required, and in 5.2.1 always required (the 5.2.1
edit appeared in -08).

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-jwsreq-08#section-5.2

```

The contents of the resource referenced by the URL MUST be a Request
Object.  The scheme used in the "request_uri" value MUST be "https",
unless the target Request Object is signed in a way that is
verifiable by the Authorization Server. 
```


https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-jwsreq-08#section-5.2.1

```

The URL MUST be HTTPS URL.

```


Cheers,

Vladimir
