I heard that JSON Web Tokens (jwt) does not go well with https or ssl.

What does this mean? Do you have a link for the misinformation?

The answer is that you can send JWTs over HTTPS.

Hi,

Any reference for this? I'm not using JWT but at first sight I don't really see how it is related. SSL is just about a lower encryption level that is done for you and shouldn't care at all about the content.

Don't care about unbacked affirmation but see rather the root cause. If you have a JWT based app just try and see what happens. As always the point is to deal wiht problem you do have rather than trying to fix in advance something you may never have or that dépends maybe on some other context or whatever...
