Hey folks, new to Ktor, so sorry in advance if this has been asked before.

We don't use basic, digest, or bearer scheme for auth. Just a simple "Authorization:AuthToken" pattern, so I don't believe I can use the Ktor Auth plugin.

I need to attach an "Authorization" header to some of my requests. How can I conditionally apply the header so that it's only attached when needed? I thought to use the HttpSend plugin, but thats basically an interceptor that intercepts every request iiuc.

You can write your own authentication provider by implementing the AuthProvider interface to use the Auth plugin or you can manually add the Authorization header for each request.

Got it - happen to have an example for implementing AuthProvider approach?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Please take a look into the implementation of the BasicAuthProvider.

Will do, thanks @Aleksei Tirman [JB]!
