Sending HTTP Headers with DeepStreamClient.login() about deepstream.io-client-java HOT 2 OPEN

hey @little-vista

Would it not be possible for you to send the token as an argument with login

DeepstreamClient.login({ token: jwtToken })

which can then be accessed by the permission plugin on deepstream rather than retrieving it from a cookie or session?

@yasserf Can you explain how that works? I want to delegate authentication completely to our API end point. That is, deepstream is setup to call out to our API authentication end point and it is this end point that validates the token. The end point has to work for apps (which we can do via a header value, browser for which we supply a cookie)

Let me see if I understand what you mean. By adding the jwt as an attribute of the login data, this is then forwarded to the API end point. What structure of json should that end point expect based on your suggestion?
