I can create an example of how to access the contents of the "result" 
key. The default is to create a Perl hash for the keys but more complex 
structures require more configuration.

The MapResponseHook would be the tool here, and as you kindly put it, it 
needs a better example of how to process responses like the one above. I 
think there are at least two options here: use "status" and/or "value" 
directly to trigger a reject or reply, or then save their values so that 
they can be processed later. For example, for a hook or another AuthBy 
you've mentioned above.


I'll get back to this.
