Enable the implict grant flow. Add the implicit grant flow. This can't be done in a grant type, because it's not specified through the grant_type parameter, for some absurd reason. Whatever. We basically achieved this by refactoring how we respond to the authorization endpoint, keying off the "response_type" parameter.

History
paddy@57 1 /*
paddy@57 2 Package auth provides an authentication service for managing user accounts and an OAuth2 provider.
paddy@57 3
paddy@57 4 The service is an opinionated implementation of authentication using passphrases and the
paddy@57 5 code.secondbit.org/pass package to implement user credentials and accounts. Additionally, users
paddy@57 6 are permitted to login using their email address on record or their username interchangeably.
paddy@57 7 Care is also taken to be able to mitigate attacks that have already happened and plan ahead for
paddy@57 8 the worst case scenarios.

paddy@57 10 An OAuth2 provider is also built-in and provided, complete with client registration and management,
paddy@57 11 as well as a specification-based set of handlers for managing the issuing of grants and tokens. Token
paddy@57 12 validiity may be asserted through an API, or a proxy service is provided for stripping auth-specific
paddy@57 13 information from requests and replacing it with a trusted header containing information about the user
paddy@57 14 and client that authorized the request.
