Description

CUPS should support the new Client ID Metadata Document Internet Draft. The client_id will be a URL ("https://openprinting.github.io/cups/oauth.json") which has an informational URL ("https://openprinting.github.io/cups/oauth.html") describing the client.

The CUPS libraries can look for the client_id_metadata_document_supported boolean in the server metadata to determine whether to use it.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the CUPS libraries' handling of server metadata and OAuth client identifiers. Determine how support for the client_id_metadata_document_supported boolean should affect use of a URL client_id and its informational URL. Done means CUPS supports the Client ID Metadata Document behavior described in the linked Internet Draft.
