Awesome news, thanks to everyone involved!

A quick question about the JWT authentication support (greatest news in
this release for my project). Are there plans for Couch to support
extracting JWT tokens from a cookie?
In some scenarios it can be easier/safer to pass JWT tokens to clients
through cookies (secure, sameSite, httpOnly, etc) so that they don't store
those in localStorage/have to add those themselves.

If you want I can create a ticket with this request (where?).

kr,
Sébastien D.
