/LSL

A JSON Web Token a.k.a. JWT (commonly pronounced "jot") is a popular standard for sending authenticated (but not secret!) information in an HTTP request. The JWT string is embedded in a custom http header and is validated by a web service. The example script below shows how to build and use a JWT via LSL:

// jwt.lsl -- build a JWT in LSL (and use it in an HTTP request)

// The unencrypted private_key must be a PEM-formated string.
string private_key = "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
