Support jwt? #36

The cookie protocol in "A Secure Cookie Protocol" by Alex Liu et al. seems to be a precursor to jwt.

Why not support jwt which is both standard and more flexible?

Hello,

the library was developed with an assumption, that a client is not allowed to read cookies. Because of this, a server just serializes/deserializes a record in the most simple and fastest way :)
I guess, you intend to read cookies on the client side. I'll start working on this issue right after #35. I expect to finish it on the next week, however implementing JWT support might take more time. Stay tuned!

@zohl, thank you for #35! ♥

@alexanderkjeldaas, have you investigated https://github.com/plow-technologies/servant-auth? It has three auths: basic, JWT and cookie, but I’ve not tried it. WDYT?
