JwtHeader should include optional param "kid" (key id) #35
Description
In the case where the public key is looked up from a map of kid -> publicKeys, is it possible to parse the kid from the Jwt Header for that map?
The so-called "kid" parameter: http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-jones-json-web-token-01.html#ReservedClaimName
Currently I only see the following Header params in the latest master build:
algorithm, contentType, typ
I would work around this by extending JwtHeader to include kid, but it does not inherit from a base trait and scala prohibits inheriting directly from another case class.
The only possible workaround I've found is copying and pasting the encoding apply statement into a separate object that allows my header content. Because the kid can be extracted separately in my own logic to deduce the key, the JsomWebToken.validate() can then be used as usual.
