There is:
fppkg install cnocOIDC
And you will have JWT support. Have a look at the

Joost,
I am aware of that, but this kind of basic functionality *really* should
be in the base distribution.
No, googleapi should be removed from the base distribution. That makes
it also easier to respond on changes and to release them more often.
However this is in principle also possible with fppkg when they are in
the base distribution.
The JWT issue is independent of Google APIs.
Also I don't think that many other languages have JWT support in their
base distribution.
FPC is more than just the language, it's a full library and run-time system.
And run-time is shifting to web:
Most desktop applications I know are being moved (or have moved) to the web.
I believe that soon, the only native apps left will be services and apps that
need hardware access (automation etc.)
So I think the FPC base system should contain everything to be able to
program web (without forgetting the services and hardware access,
obviously), and I consider JWT to be part of that base layer.
I won't argue to move Google APIS to fppkg once the latter is fully functional.
I have started to port the fppkg Web frontend to pas2js, by the way, so I hope
to have it working before the summer is out and we can then put it online.
Michael.
