Change Authorization in the header before request

[SofianeHamlaoui]

Hello,

So to explain the situation in the backend I'm receiving the JWT token encrypted !

What I want to do is to decrypt the token, replace the headers['Authorization'] with the decrypted JWT token on the before_request decorator, but I couldn't do that I tried changing it but it's not changing at all.

Any ideas how can I do that ?

That seems like a strange thing to do. Why not decode it in a before_request handler and store the results e.g. in g.jwt_data.

A HTTP header is always a string, but decoded JWT is usually a JSON object. That does not belong into request.headers.

Post some real code. I have the feeling you're doing something wrong...

== is comparison, not assignment.

Beyond that, I'm not going to help you changing the header value since I strongly believe that you're doing the wrong thing. Store your decoded JWT elsewhere.
