How to set up headers for a GET or POST authenticated request?

[CaptainChemist]

This is more of a question out of ignorance, but if I have a before_action :authenticate_with_token! on this project, can someone tell me how I'd properly set up the headers in sabisu or curl to have GET or POST request that works?

I have tried the header:
Authorization : key

And that doesn't seem to be enough. Thanks so much!

Let me dig into this, it should work as you have it.

Thanks for the reply, you are indeed correct. I am not sure why it wasn't working before, but I can just add that header and it works in sabisu. For curl you can do this:
curl -H "Authorization: rtbyy4Sq6-FuEXMKYzg7" -vv http://api.courseflow.dev/protected/1

Nice!, I'll be addressing may of this issues on the book as well as on the gem! Thanks!

This is what I use for the POST method.

curl -X POST -i -H "Content-type:application/json" http://localhost:3000/api/sessions -d '
{
"email":"abc@abc.com",
"password":"12345678"
}
'

@tknazn and are they working correctly?

Yupe - it works and returns with an authorization code.
