I'm trying to set a header with a simple key/value-pair and want to read this from my API. So this is my call from client:
public async Task<T> Auth_GetAsync<T>(string path)
{
var client = BaseHttpClient;
var request = new HttpRequestMessage
{
RequestUri = new Uri(Path.Combine(client.BaseAddress.AbsoluteUri, path)),
Method = HttpMethod.Get,
Headers = { {"key", "param"} }
};
request.Headers.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue(RequestHeader));
var task = await client.SendAsync(request);
return task.IsSuccessStatusCode
? JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(await task.Content.ReadAsStringAsync())
: default(T);
}
when I'm trying to read the header in my action, I get it completely (with my key/value-pair)
public async Task<IEnumerable<string>> GetAsync()
{
var i = Request.Headers;
return await Task.Run(() => new[] { "value1", "value2" });
}
when I'm trying to do this with the ActionFilterAttribute and/or the IAuthorizationFilter my header always contains other keys, but never contains my key/value-pair. This is my Attribute:
public class RequiresKeyAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute, IAuthorizationFilter
{
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
var req = filterContext.HttpContext.Request;
var auth = req.Headers["key"]; // this is null here
}
public void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
{
var i = filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Headers;
}
}
My target is, that the actionfilter checks whether the key is set in the header or not. I don't always want to check in my action if the key is set and validate it,...
Am I doing something wrong? Or is there solution to do this?
