Support for signing requests with JWT token

[nbransby]

According to these docs, if you want to call the API as an connect app you need to pass JWT in the query string or header param:

Also to create the JWT token in the first place according to these cdocs you need to include a query string hash: "A query string hash is a signed canonical request for the URI of the API you want to call.":

Does node-bitbucket support this?

Those links are for JIRA.

Does Bitbucket Cloud API supports this?

[nbransby]

Yeah the docs are same https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/authentication-for-apps/. I corrected the links.

Would be cool if you supported auto signing for requests using this lib: https://www.npmjs.com/package/atlassian-jwt

Otherwise we will some how have to get the query string from node-bitbucket so we can create the correct token for the API call

Before this can be implemented, it'll need some architectural changes to the codebase. With the current architecture, I don't think it's possible.
