Caddy Session to JWT

A Caddy v2 module that converts sessionID form a cookie to a JWT token. This JWT token can be used to authenticate the user in the backend. The JWT token is fetched from a Redis store and/or from a http request to a backend server (and then stored in Redis).

Redis code based on: https://github.com/pberkel/caddy-storage-redis
