Description

I ran into a problem trying to use https://github.com/inrupt/solid-react-components#providerlogin against NSS:

curl -k 'https://localhost:8443/authorize?scope=openid&client_id=c846d585078773c66a26919c0d4e5280&response_type=id_token%20token&request=eyJhbGciOiJub25lIn'

Gives an internal server error, nothing seems to be logged, even with DEBUG=*.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported curl request against the NSS /authorize endpoint, then inspect the authorization handling and logging around the internal server error. Use the issue's DEBUG=* observation as a starting point; done means the request no longer produces an unexplained internal server error and the failure is diagnosable if it still occurs.
