"""Token authentication example

This example demonstrates how to protect Flask endpoints with token
authentication, using JWT tokens. To use this example you need to install the
PyJWT library:

    pip install pyjwt

When this application starts, a token is generated for each of the two users.
To gain access, you can use a command line HTTP client such as curl, passing
one of the tokens:

    curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer <jws-token>" http://localhost:5000/

The response should include the username, which is obtained from the token. The
tokens have a validity time of one hour, after which they will be rejected.
