Note: This question is similar to this one, but its suggested answer doesn't apply here.
I am trying to access this API, which is looking for a header that looks like this:
Authorization: {token}
Note the absence of any authentication scheme.
I have tried doing:
myHttpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("", authToken);
Which resulted in an ArgumentException saying that I can't pass an empty string.
I have also tried both:
myHttpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue(authToken);
and
myHttpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", authToken);
Both of which result in a FormatException.
There seems to be something forcing me to conform to a standard format for my authorization header, but the service I am trying to access doesn't use that standard format.
