Description

From our meeting notes:

Passing HTTP headers into the manager/tunnel

  • literal headers can specified by end users https://github.com/coder/coder-desktop-macos/pull/24
  • header commands need to be either
    - [preferred] cleared by admins, e.g. written to Admin only config (Registry on Windows)
    - run as the end user account that specified it

Research direction

Start by tracing how the manager/tunnel receives literal HTTP headers, using the completed work in coder-desktop-macos/pull/24 as context. Determine where header commands are handled and how Admin-only configuration is represented on macOS. Done means command-supplied headers are either cleared by administrators or executed as the end user who configured them.
