Token-Refresher

token-refresher is a helper that fetches and refreshes OAuth2 access tokens via OIDC. It can do two things with these tokens:

1. write them to a file on disk; tokens are refreshed before expiration so that the file always holds a valid token; and
2. provide an HTTP proxy that adds an HTTP Authorization header containing the token to all outgoing requests.

token-refresher enables applications that only know how to read bearer tokens from a file or make HTTP requests to interface with APIs that are secured with OAuth2.

Note: the proxy should be used with care as any client that can access the API can impersonate the configured OAuth2 client.
