Research direction

Start at -disconnectWithCompletion: and follow its call to startFetchURL:, where the NSMutableURLRequest is created. Compare the revocation request with the linked Google documentation and RFC 7009 section 2.1; done means the request uses POST and carries the token in a form-encoded body.

Description

enhancement triage

-disconnectWithCompletion: sends the revocation request over GET, because startFetchURL: builds an NSMutableURLRequest without setting HTTPMethod.

Our documentation (mobile) says to use a POST request; and RFC 7009 section 2.1 specifies a POST carrying the token in a form-encoded body.
