Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A number of APIs and services are protected using OAuth these days, and it would be great to integrate an OAuth-specific header builder (similar to Postman) to enable easy testing of OAuth-protected resources.

Describe the solution you'd like
A header "builder" to construct an OAuth Authorization header.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None so far.

Additional context
This is a list of the authentication schemes that Postman supports - for a free tool, OAuth in particular would be very useful.

Hi there,

Thanks for opening the issue. OAuth is something really important to many workloads and is indeed a high priority thing to be implemented.

Anyone willing to pick this issue up ? I am a bit in a handful with getting native wrapper going.

@benjaminhowarth1 isn't this how OAuth JWT token is sent in a request?

Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

this is already implemented in Authorization section as Bearer token.

OAuth does use some standard URL parameters though....

We can look into those ?
