title: Bearer before token in JWT
body: <p>I have noticed the convention is to send a JWT in the header under the field Authorization. The standard is to send the token as such:</p>
  <pre><code>Authorization:Bearer [token]
  </code></pre>
  <p>My question is why do I need to put the Bearer part why not just:</p>
  <pre><code>Authorization:[token]
  </code></pre>
  <p>When I receive the first request I need to parse every request to get rid of the Bearer when I verify my JWT. What is the point of this?</p>
