/*
This script was created strictly for debugging purposes so that I could manually create an
authenticated session and a corresponding JWT to test whether the client and server would
correctly validate that JWT and allow access to the protected resource.

I'm including it in the scripts directory in case it's useful for future debugging,
but I don't expect it to be of any use to non-developers.
