Python Programming Task

Your task is to build an HTTP proxy (see definition in RFC2616) that takes a POST request and appends a JSON Web Token with the following claims:

• iat - Timestamp of the request as specified by the specification
• jti- A cryptographic nonce that should be unique
• payload - A json payload of the structure: {"user": "username", "date": "todays date"}

The JWT should be signed with the following hex string secret using the HS512 alogrithm as in the JWT spec:

a9ddbcaba8c0ac1a0a812dc0c2f08514b23f2db0a68343cb8199ebb38a6d91e4ebfb378e22ad39c2d01 d0b4ec9c34aa91056862ddace3fbbd6852ee60c36acbf

Append the JWT as the x-my-jwt header to the upstream post request.

The upstream post endpoint can be any dummy endpoint. For example you can write your own or use something like https://reqres.in or https://postman-echo.com

Requirements:

• Use Python3.6+
• Please use whatever libraries are necessary
• Use Docker and provide a docker-compose.yml file in at least version '2'
• Provide a Makefile with following targets:
  • build to build the application
  • run to execute what's needed to run the server. You can use HTTP_PORT variable to specify on which port the proxy binds
• Deliver the project via a public GitHub repository

Bonus Points:

• Provide /status page with
  • time from start
  • number of requests processed
• Use asyncronous programming
• Provide tests covering the functionality
• Extend Makefile with a test target executing the tests covering the functionality
