`/authorize` endpoint returns 200 with html output. The API documentation states that it should return 302 status with authorization code.  
The documentation at [OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework - Auth0 Docs](https://auth0.com/docs/protocols/oauth2), states that `response_mode` parameter as `fragment` & `query` should return the code. However this parameter is not taking any effect. How to get the authorization code without redirecting the request?
