ES256 is not a supported algorithm when logging with Inrupt.com (Pod Spaces) account

Hi,

When logging with an Inrupt.com account (a.k.a Pod Spaces, https://signup.pod.inrupt.com/) on several apps, I find the following error in the console: normalizedAlgorithm.importKey is not a function after trying to access other users data which are hosted in a NSS instance

After setting up a local Node Solid Server instance and reproducing the bug, I found the problem occurs here: https://github.com/solid/jose/blob/main/src/jose/JWA.js#L90

I logged around this line to get more info:

}

key.alg:  "ES256"

And this file seems to confirm the absence of E256: https://github.com/solid/jose/blob/main/src/algorithms/index.js#L58

Does it mean that inrupt.com (and I guess other ESS based accounts) are currently not compatible with node-solid-server?

Hey, i tested this locally after doing npm update. You could double check, but it seems to be resolved by https://github.com/nodeSolidServer/jose/pull/19 as well. May take some time before showing up in production servers though...
