Description
- I have looked for existing issues (including closed) about this
Feature Request
Motivation
I found tower_http::validate_request::ValidateRequestHeaderLayer::bearer very convenient, but it's a bit too simplistic. I am thinking maybe we can have a layer that checks a lookup table that is dynamically changing, which should cover most of the use cases.
Proposal
I think we can let developers pass a closure which checks if a bearer token passed in the closure is valid or not, this should give them max flexibility.
Alternatives
Or, we can allow them to pass an object that impl a new trait.

Research direction
Start at tower_http::validate_request::ValidateRequestHeaderLayer::bearer to understand the existing single-key behavior. Decide whether the feature should accept a dynamically changing lookup closure or a new trait, and consider how completion would demonstrate that multiple bearer tokens are accepted and invalid tokens rejected.
