Is there any way to send data to pusher channel_auth_endpoint?

Question

I´m developing a chat with pusher and i need to send some data to the auth endpoint, is there any way to send data and access it via POST or GET ?

  Pusher.channel_auth_endpoint = '/server/client_auth';
  pusher = new Pusher('public_key');

Thanks!!!

Yes, you can provide additional data to be sent to the auth endpoint when you create your Pusher instance eg

var authOptions = {
  headers: {
    'header-1': 'header-value-1',
    'header-2': 'header-value-1'
  },
  params: {
    'param-1': 'param-value-1',
    'param-2': 'param-value-2'
  }
};
var pusher = new Pusher( APP_KEY, { auth: authOptions } );

More information and use case examples can be found the Pusher docs: http://pusher.com/docs/client_api_guide/client_connect#options_parameter

If this doesn't suit your use case I'd recommend you get in touch with Pusher Support and there may be solutions planned which better solve your requirements.
