JWT Middleware

JWT Middleware is a middleware plugin for Traefik which verifies a jwt token and adds the payload as injected header to the request This version of the fork allows one to specify that the authorization code is optional.

Meaning that if the authorization code is in the request, it will get checked, and if it does, the request will go through.

Meaning that if you want to check that a request is authenticated you'll need to verify that there is a Authorization header in your request.
