Support Silhouette (Play framework)

[hailg]

Hi,
I'm using Silhouette with JWT for authorization. In current implementation, they'll read a custom header for the token. The problem is they don't expect "Bearer" as the prefix. Currently, I cannot set header prefix to be empty (from the source code you will add Bearer if I pass in an empty string).

Is it a good idea to remove the default "Bearer"?

Ah I didn't consider that. I'll add support for it.

There is some discussion about the token prefix on the Silhouette list here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/play-silhouette/9gYkHUybzuo/VtRuLwuPHwAJ

A workaround until Silhouette 4 comes out is to set the headerPrefix to a space (not an empty string or null), e.g.:

provide(AuthConfig, {useValue: new AuthConfig({
    headerPrefix: " ",
})})
