JwtHeader should include optional param "kid" (key id)

[evbo]

In the case where the public key is looked up from a map of kid -> publicKeys, is it possible to parse the kid from the Jwt Header for that map?

The so-called "kid" parameter: http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-jones-json-web-token-01.html#ReservedClaimName

Currently I only see the following Header params in the latest master build: algorithm, contentType, typ

I would work around this by extending JwtHeader to include kid, but it does not inherit from a base trait and scala prohibits inheriting directly from another case class.

The only possible workaround I've found is copying and pasting the encoding apply statement into a separate object that allows my header content. Because the kid can be extracted separately in my own logic to deduce the key, the JsomWebToken.validate() can then be used as usual.

The kid parameter is not part of JWT is it? See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519 The link you are referencing is a draft of the spec.
