Parameters

Header Parameters

Signature-Input
required

The Signature-Input field is a Dictionary structured field containing the metadata for one or more message signatures generated from components within the HTTP message. Each member describes a single message signature. The member’s key is the label that uniquely identifies the message signature within the context of the HTTP message. The member’s value is the serialization of the covered components Inner List plus all signature metadata parameters identified by the label. The following components MUST be included: - “@method” - “@target-uri” - “authorization”. When the message contains a request body, the covered components MUST also include the following: - “content-digest” The keyid parameter of the signature MUST be set to the kid value of the JWK. See ietf-httpbis-message-signatures for more details.
