mod_http_oauth2: Advertise the currently supported id_token signing algorithm
This field is REQUIRED. The algorithm RS256 MUST be included, but isn't
because we don't implement it, as that would require implementing a pile
of additional cryptography and JWT stuff. Instead the id_token is
signed using the client secret, which allows verification by the client,
since it's a shared secret per OpenID Connect Core 1.0 § 10.1 under
Symmetric Signatures.
OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 has a lot of REQUIRED and MUST clauses that
are not supported here, but that's okay because this is served from the
RFC 8414 OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Metadata .well-known endpoint!

--- summary: HTTP Authentication using custom JSON protocol ... Introduction ============ To authenticate users, this module does a `POST` request to a configured URL with a JSON payload. It is not async so requests block the server until answered. Configuration ============= ``` lua VirtualHost "example.com" authentication = "custom_http" auth_custom_http = { post_url = "http://api.example.com/auth"; } ``` Protocol ======== The JSON payload consists of an object with `username` and `password` members: {"username":"john","password":"secr1t"} The module expects the response body to be exactly `true` if the username and password are correct.
