How to make request to fn-server that require authenticated header?

Hi there, I added a simple authentication for my fn-servers, but I am not sure how to manage these fn-server from fn-cli. Can we configure request headers to the context?

Thanks.

Hey - great question!

Currently the Fn CLI and go sdk only support bearer-tokens for the default provider out of the box -

Supporting basic auth sounds like a good idea - I think this should be in the default provider (as an alternative to tokens.

You should be able to do this by updating the default Provider: https://github.com/fnproject/fn_go/tree/master/provider/defaultprovider - e.g. by accepting new config parameters (user/password?) for basic auth as an alternative to token.

I've put a basic idea together - would this work for you?

Thank you @zootalures

It's working by adding "token" to my context .fn/contexts/NAME.yaml.

I think we should update the context documentation to mention this cool option.

Awesome, glad it worked out, I’ll look at the docs asap
