Some paid node providers require authentication to prevent abuse / DDoS attacks. A way of doing this is by proving an
auth
GET parameter in the server url when a “stellarsdk.Server” object is created. For security purposes, node providers may remove this auth token by purging it from the responses. And since the sdk uses some values in the response for future requests, the sdk no longer has context of the auth token. As a result, some calls to library methods likenext()
andprev()
fail.This PR adds support for a new custom header when a new stellar server object is created, namely
X-Auth-Token
. Adding support for this header allows us to authenticate against a node & have the sdk keep track of the authentication value.
