Description

The README contains a link to https://websec.io/2014/08/04/Securing-Requests-with-JWT.html. However, at the time of writing this issue, the websec.io domain has lapsed and is available for registration by anyone, and the content that was at the end of this link is now gone.

You could rely on the last snapshot from the Wayback Machine, though: https://web.archive.org/web/20240918103054/https://www.websec.io/2014/08/04/Securing-Requests-with-JWT.html
