In my rails application I'm able to get the Token Authorization: Token token='aUthEnTicAtIonTokeN' passed in header of request with

authenticate_with_http_token do |token, options|
 @auth_token = token
end

but when I pass token as Authorization: Bearer token='aUthEnTicAtIonTokeN' getting token as nil above method.

how can i get bearer token passed through header in rails application?

Answer 1

You could get the Bearer token with a method like:

def bearer_token
  pattern = /^Bearer /
  header  = request.headers['Authorization']
  header.gsub(pattern, '') if header && header.match(pattern)
end

Also, when setting the header it should be:

Authorization: Bearer 'aUthEnTicAtIonTokeN'
