Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/OAuthSwift/OAuthSwift/issues/330

Description:

We would like to be able to configure which header to use for passing the token in requests. Currently the OAuthSwiftClient is hardcoded to use the "Authorization" header. We would like to be able to use "X-Authorization" instead.

Other than modifying the framework code, can you suggest a solution? Or consider it as a feature request?

OAuth Provider (Twitter, Github, ..):

Custom backend.

OAuth Version:

Version 1
Version 2

OS (Please fill the version) :

iOS :
OSX :
TVOS :

You can set into credential object a OAuthSwiftCredentialHeadersFactory
oauthSwift.client.credential.headersFactory=<your custom object>

get the token like this oauthSwift.client.credential.oauthToken or extends OAuthSwiftCredential

and in your custom object
return token.isEmpty ? [:] : ["X-Authorization": "Bearer \(token)"]
