user-agent-based application

A user-agent-based application is a public client in which the

client code is downloaded from a web server and executes within a

user-agent (e.g., web browser) on the device used by the resource

owner. Protocol data and credentials are easily accessible (and

often visible) to the resource owner. Since such applications

reside within the user-agent, they can make seamless use of the

user-agent capabilities when requesting authorization.
