enum

OAuth2::AuthScheme

Inherits Enum / Comparable / Value / Object

Enum of supported mechanisms used to pass credentials to the server.

According to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-2.3.1:

"Including the client credentials in the request-body using the two parameters is NOT RECOMMENDED and SHOULD be limited to clients unable to directly utilize the HTTP Basic authentication scheme (or other password-based HTTP authentication schemes)."

Therefore, HTTP Basic is preferred, and Request Body should only be used if the server does not support HTTP Basic.
