URL rewrite using dynamic data in JWT

[twistedstream]

Leverage the URL rewrite capabilities of Nginx (ex: using the ngx_http_rewrite_module module) and perform a rewrite where the destination URL contains data from the JWT.

Example:

• The Nginx endpoint being called is /api/userinfo and the JWT passed by the client contains a field user_id: sandrino123
• The rewritten URL to the downstream endpoint becomes https://server01/legacy/api/getuserinfofor/$user_id (where $user_id is a value from the JWT in the Authorization header)

This supports dynamic url rewriting and custom response.
