Getting request Authorization header in ZF2 controller

Works fine for me (ZF2 Version 2.1.4):

curl -i -H "Accept: test" -H "Authorization: 123456" -X POST http://zf2.localhost

Results in:

HTTP/1.1 200 OKDate: Thu, 11 Apr 2013 09:44:45 GMTServer: Apache/2.4.3 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1c PHP/5.4.7X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.7Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMTCache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-chPragma: no-cacheContent-Length: 843Content-Type: text/htmlobject(Zend\Http\Headers)#168 (3) {  ["pluginClassLoader":protected]=>  NULL  ["headersKeys":protected]=>  array(4) {    [0]=>    string(9) "useragent"    [1]=>    string(4) "host"    [2]=>    string(6) "accept"    [3]=>    string(13) "authorization"  }  ["headers":protected]=>  array(4) {    [0]=>    array(2) {      ["name"]=>      string(10) "User-Agent"      ["line"]=>      string(23) "User-Agent: curl/7.26.0"    }    [1]=>    array(2) {      ["name"]=>      string(4) "Host"      ["line"]=>      string(24) "Host: zf2.localhost"    }    [2]=>    array(2) {      ["name"]=>      string(6) "Accept"      ["line"]=>      string(12) "Accept: test"    }    [3]=>    array(2) {      ["name"]=>      string(13) "Authorization"      ["line"]=>      string(21) "Authorization: 123456"    }  }}

With the following code:

$request  = $this->getRequest();var_dump($request->getHeaders());

Use the following to get the value:

$authVal = $request->getHeaders('authorization')->getFieldValue();

Hope this helps :)

I finally found the answer here:

http://zend-framework-community.634137.n4.nabble.com/HTTP-Digest-authentication-does-not-work-with-PHP-as-CGi-td4658790.html

Had to add the following to the projects .htaccess:

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

hope this will help you in zf2

  $headers = $request->getHeaders();  $authorization = $headers->get('Authorization')->getFieldValue();

$request is object of Zend\Http\Request;
