Allow custom Authorization Headers in RPC #3

Open elementalennui-dev opened 1 month ago

Hi @stjet!

I've been poking around with using the NanSwap Banano Node as an RPC due to it's ability to generate work. However, it requires a custom Auth header of {"nodes-api-key": NODES_API_KEY}.

It looks like in RPC.py, this code block exists:

headers = {}
#add auth header, if exists
if self.auth:
   headers['Authorization'] = self.auth
resp = requests.post(self.rpc_url, json=payload, headers=headers)

Which allows common auth headers like Bearer and JWT Tokens.

To get the NanSwap node to work, it looks like I need to submit a request with a custom header key, not Authorization.

The nano.js code has a parameter called customHeaders which allows custom key/val pairs to be set for auth headers. It would be great to have similar functionality here. Let me know your thoughts!

Not against adding option for custom headers, but seems like Nanswap API allows the API key as a url query param now. (eg: https://nodes.nanswap.com/BAN?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY)
