There was a problem hiding this comment.
Yeah, I just checked that there's even an open issue in cargo about the auth scheme. But anyway, this LGTM. I just left a small nit. Maybe we also want to add some comments in the codebase, even linking to issues, to provide context and explain why we need to support this.
... by using the new `AuthHeader` extractor, which also slightly improves our error messages.

All of our users at this point have `&str` anyway, so we might as well operate on strings.

cargo publishwas built without using an auth scheme in theAuthorizationheader. Regular HTTP client libraries often only support either basic or bearer authentication, but not empty auth schemes.The regular API tokens currently only support an empty auth scheme, while Trusted Publishing was (mistakenly) built in a way to only support the
Bearerauth scheme.This PR adjusts both code paths to use a shared
Authorizationheader extractor which allows usage of an empty auth scheme, or theBearerauth scheme, regardless of the type of token that is used or the API endpoint it is used on.Related:
