Feel free to create JIRA for this and also send PR.
Maybe it is as simple as refactor QueryParamterTokenRequestAuthenticator
to use "exchange.getRequest().getFirstParamValue(ACCESS_TOKEN)" instead
of "exchange.getRequest().getQueryParamValue(ACCESS_TOKEN)" (the former
would handle both query and form parameters), but not 100% sure. Also
for the PR, we would need the test too.
Btv. the JIRA were the query parameter support was added was
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-1733 .

Hi Keycloak Developers,
RFC6750 allows the access token to be submitted as part of a POST
request. I found that this is the only good way to do file downloads in
a JavaScript frontend.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750#section-2.1
Excerpt: When sending the access token in the HTTP request entity-body,
client adds the access token to the request-body using the
"access_token" parameter. [...] Resource servers MAY support this method.
I don't remember a thread on this mailing list. The only place I could
find in the code was the User Endpoint that does this quite manually.
Currently Keycloak only supports the query parameter using
QueryParamterTokenRequestAuthenticator. A similar class will be needed
to support a Form Parameter. Like the
QueryParamterTokenRequestAuthenticator it will be part of the request
processing and it will not be configurable.
I'd like to open a JIRA issue for this as part of the Java Keycloak
Clients to track the efforts and thoughts.
Comments welcome!

Alexander
