Authorization with async-http-client

[schmidarnold]

I am trying to create a request to a server that uses digest authentication, unfortunately without success. I was trying to make a request, then I created from the response header a authorization header and with a new request a sended my authorization header. But I think there is my mistake. I have to send the authorization header with my first request. Is there a possibility to do this with async-http-client, perhaps in the delegate function func didReceiveHead(task: HTTPClient.Task<Response>, _ head: HTTPResponseHead) -> EventLoopFuture<Void> ... I saw that in the source code there is the possibility of basic authentication... How I have to use it.
Thanks, I know that is not a bug or an issue, but I don't know where to aks such a concrete question.

You can set arbitrary headers when making your first request by constructing the Request object first. This is probably the best way to do it.

But thats not possible with Digest Authentication. I have first to attend the first response from the server and then construct the authorization header. I am searching a way to send a header in an existing request.

a way to send a header in an existing request

request.headers.add(name: "foo", value: "bar")

OK, now the digest authentication is running, server gives me response OK. request.headers.add(name:"Authorization", value:computedResponse). I will try to test now to read the data
