Struct headers::Authorization

pub struct Authorization<C: Credentials>(pub C);

Authorization header, defined in RFC7235

The Authorization header field allows a user agent to authenticate itself with an origin server -- usually, but not necessarily, after receiving a 401 (Unauthorized) response. Its value consists of credentials containing the authentication information of the user agent for the realm of the resource being requested.

ABNF

Authorization = credentials

Example values

• Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==
• Bearer fpKL54jvWmEGVoRdCNjG

Examples

use headers::Authorization;

let basic = Authorization::basic("Aladdin", "open sesame");
let bearer = Authorization::bearer("some-opaque-token").unwrap();
