getting HTTP_AUTHENTICATION key missing with custom auth middleware

See original GitHub issue

Hey team, I am a long time fan of bottle and this is my first issue - so thank you.

I inherited a contract with the front end that relies on the header: {‘authentication’: ‘bearer TOKEN’}, where TOKEN is a session token. I am getting the unexpected error:

    return tonat(self.environ[self._ekey(key)], 'latin1')
KeyError: 'HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'

Do you know why? Could you please help me sort it out?

Thank you, Andrew

Thanks @agalera I appreciate your reaching out. I find JWTs to be a lot of overhead so I don’t typically use them. Also, the project I ran into trouble with using the ‘authorization’ header, I don’t have the freedom to change the authorization mechanism as there are too many moving parts.

@mandrewstuart if you’re interested, I made a plugin a long time ago for bottle to use jwt, maybe it will be useful
