The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6750,
"The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework: Bearer Token Usage"

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Jen Kinder <[email protected]>

Section 5.1 says:

Original Text
-------------
Code
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8

Corrected Text
--------------
Code
Content-Type: application/json

Notes
-----
JSON’s media type does not allow parameters (RFC 8259).
The example in RFC 6750 incorrectly uses:

Code
application/json;charset=UTF-8
Strict OAuth clients perform exact string equality when validating token 
responses. 
Because JSON forbids parameters, the charset version is treated as an unknown 
media type, causing token parsing to fail.

This behavior matches the failure mode described in Errata 6161.

This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". Please
