Token can not be sent as JSON #16

Hi there,

I think the token can not be sent as JSON. Is that right?

Greetings Tim

This is "OK" to do, but yes currently the library only looks for parameters using form-enctype. If you need to use JSON in your application, extend the OAuth2\Request object to handle this.

Actually, I lied. The OAuth2\Request object looks at the headers, and if Content-Type is set to application/json, the request is decoded using json_decode, which means the token would be parsed if submitted in JSON.

Additionally, if you use oauth2-server-httpfoundation-bridge, you can submit requests using symfony's HTTPFoundation bundle, which also has JSON support (and is a more comprehensive library than the request object included here)
