Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/3169

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

Since AWS accounts for a sizable proportion of global hosting, it would be helpful to support the AWS v4 signing protocol (cf. Postman's support): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-signing.html

For me, the absence of this feature means that I cannot use Hoppscotch in my work environment.

Why should this be worked on?

It is currently not feasible to call APIs that use AWS v4 auth.

Technically one could implement the logic (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/create-signed-request.html) in a pre-request script, but owing to Hoppscotch's inability to allow importing of external npm modules, this is not realistic either.

Accordingly, it would be helpful to add AWS v4 auth as one of the inbuilt auth options.

I'd like to pile on here – this is a showstopper for my use case
