The OpenID Connect library we use on another platform (helpdesk - DeskPro) is JumboJett, and they’ve recently changed the requests on the verification stage to encode the authorisation headers with urlencode. This encodes the credentials in a format which is supported over the internet, and is actually specified in the scope of OpenID Connect.

WHMCS is not successfully decoding these requests correctly. If we remove the urlencode from the authorisation headers, then WHMCS accepts them.

Please fix the OpenID Connect library used by WHMCS to accept urlencode in authorization headers to ensure compatibility with third party software integration, as specified in the scope of OpenID Connect platform.

This issue is not just a minor bug; it also affects scalability and integration with third-party systems, as each platform may handle encoding differently, making adherence to the OpenID Connect standard crucial. https://subwaycity.org

Wow, this feature request about OpenID Connect is super intriguing! It's fascinating to think about how accepting urlencoded headers can streamline integrations. What if we could also discuss potential security enhancements with these changes? Thanks for shedding light on such a technical topic—I appreciate the clarity you provide! https://geometry-lite2.io
