Be sure to also include a general description of Auth0

As a guide, @eugeniop's description from his email:

Develop and extension to nginx to build a reverse-proxy that performs authentication on behalf of apps or APIs. Many times, apps cannot be modified. Or APIs won't support a token based auth. Placing a proxy in front of them, is an easy way of wrapping them to perform these tasks. An equivalent of this can be found here: https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/webapp/apache This is using an Apache module. nginx is extensible as Apache, but a in addition to C, you can also use LUA (another scriupting programming language).
