POST with Credentials Encoded in the Header

You may use the same HTTP Authorization
header discussed in the previous section, but with an HTTP POST operation rather than a GET. The only difference is that rather than including the grant_type
parameter as a query string parameter in the URL, you would include it in the body of the message instead. In this case, set the Content-Type
header to application/x-www-form-urlencoded
. The HTTP request would look something like this:

POST /oauth2/v2/token HTTP/1.1
Host: oauth2.strikeiron.com
Authorization: Basic dXNlckBleGFtcGxlLmNvbTphdXRoMTIz
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
grant_type=client_credentials
