使用 URL 创建订阅，包括 header 中的不记名令牌

Question

Hello FIWARE specialists, I like to create a subscription, which pushes notifications to an external service. The external service needs authorization with a barrier token. If I use curl, I add "--header 'Authorization: Bearer XXX'". How can I add a barrier token to the subscription request?

"notification": {
    "attributes": [ "id", "type", "name", "location", "occupancy"],
    "format": "normalized",
    "endpoint": { 
        "uri": "http://a.b.c.de:1111", 
        "accept": "application/json"
    }
  },

Is there an option to add a header field to the "endpoint" setup in the subscription like:

"headers": "Authorization: Bearer XXX"

Hopefully, you can help me in that case. Thanks, Knigge

In Orion Context Broker using the NGSIv2 API you can use custom notifications to achieve that. For example the following subscription:

...
"httpCustom": {
  "url": "http://context-provider:3000/subscription/low-stock-store001",
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer XXX"
  }
}
