Amazon Web Services compatibility

[hugo]

I'm working on a service that will sit in AWS, behind an ALB. Amazon has a feature where you can to auth at the ALB, and your application will be provided with JWTs in specific headers. Unfortunately, the x-amzn-oidc-data header comes with incorrect base64 encoding, which means that spec-conformant libraries will not verify it's tokens.

Would you be willing to accept a patch that added an AWS-compat mode? I'm happy to write it, but I don't want to just open a PR if it's not a use case you're interested in supporting.

Is that still the case recently? I found auth0/node-jws#84 (comment)
IMO it doesn't really makes sense to add support for a bug, in that link above they said they were changing it but it does suck :/

[hugo]

It's still an issue. They've at least acknowledged that it's a bug, but it's not looking like it will be fixed any time soon. Perhaps I'll just write a blog post and put up a demo repo showing how to work around the problem, while it persists.

I can add a link to that in the README when you publish it!
