Description

It'd be great if this package supported assuming roles from web identity tokens:

Calling AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity does not require the use of AWS security credentials. Therefore, you can distribute an application (for example, on mobile devices) that requests temporary security credentials without including long-term AWS credentials in the application. You also don't need to deploy server-based proxy services that use long-term AWS credentials. Instead, the identity of the caller is validated by using a token from the web identity provider.

Hi @jon-mago, thanks for merging the PR. Can we also publish a new version and do CRAN release if possible?
