Description
Description
There's authorization based on headers or query params, but not based on: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-cavage-http-signatures
Enhancement would be to support this as a code generation option, -Dhttpsig, with the auth_settings, then set to auth_setting['in'] == 'httpsig' to trigger it.

Research direction
Start with the Python generator entry point and the ./bin/python-httpsig-petstore.sh command mentioned in the issue, then trace how auth_settings are handled for generated clients. Compare the HTTP Signatures draft with the existing authorization paths; done means the -Dhttpsig option generates signing behavior for auth_settings entries using in == httpsig.
