Hi Brian, thanks for the response,

On a related note, chapter 7.2 allows for protected resources supporting
Bearer and DPoP schemes simultaneously. Is it implied that such resources
should advertise both schemes when challenging user agents with
WWW-Authenticate?

The HTTP 1.1 Authentication spec, section 4.1
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7235#section-4.1> does allow for
multiple challenges sent as a single WWW-Authenticate header, for example:

    WWW-Authenticate: Newauth realm="apps", type=1,
                       title="Login to \"apps\"", Basic realm="simple"

which in our case would look like this:

    WWW-Authenticate: DPoP realm="WallyWorld", algs="ES256 PS256",
                       Basic realm="WallyWorld"

or, in the case of error,

    WWW-Authenticate: DPoP realm="WallyWorld", error="invalid_token",
error_description="Invalid DPoP key binding", algs="ES256",
                       Basic realm="WallyWorld"


The HTTP 1.1 spec, section 4.2
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2616.html#section-4.2> also allows for
multiple headers with the same name, but only under very strict conditions;
I'm not yet sure if those apply to WWW-Authenticate.

Is this worth mentioning in the DPoP spec?

Regards,
Dmitry
