Description

Description

I am building a server which receives requests from many clients and makes requests to another server. I would like to forward the oauth2 token the client sent me to the other server.
I could create a new client per request, but I would like to pass the authorization header per request.

Can I do that?

Edit

Can I do that with different headers?

Swagger-codegen version

2.3.1

Suggest a fix/enhancement

If this isn't possible, add an optional argument to each request that allows passing headers for this specific request (and not change the default)

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the TypeScript client templates and the generated request entry points, then check how default headers are applied. Done means a caller can supply headers for one request, including forwarding an OAuth2 authorization header, without changing the client's defaults; add coverage for that behavior.
