This PR introduces a new placeholder,
{http.auth.<provider>.error}
, which is set when an authentication provider returns an error from the authentication process.This allows errors during
Authenticate
from specific authentication providers to be exposed and handled more effectively in thehandle_errors
directive. Since a non-succesful authentication results in just a401 Unauhtorized
, this new placeholder enables much more fine-grained error handling.The following example demonstrates the flexibility of handling

errors from the caddy-jwt plugin (= providerjwt
) using the new placeholder ({http.auth.jwt.error}
) in ahandle_errors 401
