Default custom headers for REST web service connections
0

Hi,

REST web services may need some custom headers for authentication, content-type, authorization and so on.

Right now one has to configure those custom headers for each REST web services data source and invoke action using the connection.

My suggestion is to add default custom headers in the connection as Postman does it in the configuration of its collections. By having this all data sources and invoke actions can inherit those default custom headers. Optional further custom headers can then be configured too as it is now.

This would also enable a centralized management of header entries instead of having to change e.g. an expired x-api-key or authorization value at all of its occurrences.
Moreover this would be a better way than storing such a key in a global constant.

Kind regards
Sébastien
