Desired functionality.

I would like the ability to add an ignore list of routes for the refresh token to activate.

The use case is that I have a few authenticated polling endpoints that run every 30 seconds. I'd like those to require authentication but not refresh the token, because they will keep the token alive forever.

I don't see a clear way to delineate this using auth guards or anything documented, and I'm open to creative solutions beyond an ignore list!

As an alternative, I think that having an ignore list based on request headers would be an improvement over route matching. That should allow it to match routes as you'd expect but also be a bit more explicit about how it matches.

I am going to start working on a PR for this feature.

@jeddai This definitely works and is an improvment! Thanks. Eager to see it reviewed and merged.

Hi there, is there anything we need to do to get this reviewed merged?? It's a helpful addition to the integration and would appreciate feedback.
