[jmprieur]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Azure functions can be considered as Web APIs. It's possible to call with with a header containing a bearer token.

Describe the solution you'd like
Microsoft.Identity.Web should provide a helper and documentation on how to do that.
