I'm clearly missing something obvious, but are there any examples of using a bearer token for auth with wire?

[Rob Smith]

I've checked out https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49463607/create-bearer-authorization-header-in-okhttp-java but it doesn't seem like there is a method to straight add headers via the GrpcClient?

[Rob Smith]

I'm working through building an Authenticator but I'm starting to feel like this is perhaps the wrong solution here as well

[Rob Smith]

Apologies if this is a simple question, kind of drinking from the firehose here a bit and trying to get a minimal hacked solution up with our protos/backend

I don't know what a bearer token is, do you just need to pass it as a header?

[Benoit Quenaudon]

I don't know if there are other ways but to pass a header with gRPC wire, you can either pass an interceptor or set the requestMetadata on the GrpcStreamingCall

Thanks, I was going to try that next. Found an example: https://github.com/DevenderChuahan/JiffyNew/blob/9a96f19b5397c43db5527c56419da99e2bf40603/app/src/main/java/in/jiffycharge/gopower/di/Modules.kt#L134

[Rob Smith]

this worked btw, thanks again for the assist

Sweet

BTW you should also be able to use regular OkHttp interceptors
