Add HTTP Connector Example

[kferrone]

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to use the HTTP connector with an endpoint which needs a bearer token in the Authorization header. Please add some http examples using auth tokens

You just need to send an header together with the payload to the sink connector. This header should be named "CamelHeader.Authorization" with the bearer token as value.

Ok, so I am using the unofficial strimzi-cli here for local testing and Strimzi is running in kubernetes.

I made a file called producer.properties with the following on my local machine:

CamelHeader.Authorization=Bearer 123token456

Then I run this command to create a producer from the cli

kfk console-producer --topic my-topic -c my-cluster -n default --producer.config producer.properties

Then I paste the following:

{"message": "foo"}

I see my consumers do get the message including the connector.
However I am still getting 403 back from the endpoint from within the sink connector.
Did I even do what you are saying?

How to debug the actual request getting made to the endpoint? I want to see the headers, body and all.

I also get this warning when I open the producer terminal:

WARN The configuration 'CamelHeader.Authorization' was supplied but isn't a known config. (org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.ProducerConfig)

I would use Kafkacat and add a

-H CamelHeader.Authorization="Bearer 123token456"

Oh my hero! Kafkacat worked well for me. It looks like there is a bug in the Strimzi CLI. I was pulling my hair out. I'll let them know something isn't working right. Thanks.
