Description

Currently HAIP dictates the following during presentation of VCs:

Signed Authorization Requests MUST be used by utilizing JWT-Secured Authorization Request (JAR) RFC9101 with the request_uri parameter.

Per RFC9101 the only supported HTTP Method is GET.
OpenId4VP though, has introduced support for HTTP Method POST via request_uri_method, as well.

Judging from this comment, it appears that when using HAIP, only request_uri_method get must be used.

Could you please clarify/verify the above?
Would it also be possible to add a clarification to the profile and make explicit the requirement for request_uri_method?

Kind regards

Research direction

Start with the HAIP profile text covering signed authorization requests and compare its request_uri requirements with RFC9101 and the linked OpenID4VP section. Done means the allowed request_uri_method is clarified and the profile explicitly states the requirement.
