Working

The authentication class checks for the token in two locations:

• HTTP_AUTHORIZATION environment variable:

  It first checks if token is passed using Authorization request header. The value should be of form Bearer <token>. The Authorization header name and token prefix Bearer can be customzied using options header and prefix respectively.

  Note: Some servers don't populate $_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'] when Authorization header is set. So it's upto you to ensure that either $_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'] or $_ENV['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'] is set.

  For e.g. for apache you could use the following:

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
  RewriteRule .* - [e=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]
  

• The query string variable specified using parameter config:

  Next it checks if the token is present in query string. The default variable name is token and can be customzied by using the parameter config shown above.
