Summary

Resolves ENG-6287.
Added Authorization header to blob service requests.

Test Plan

Called all these blob functions in "main" keyserver.js. In blob service handlers, I added the following:

#[instrument(name = "assign_holder", skip(service))]
pub async fn assign_holder_handler(
  // ...
  auth: comm_lib::auth::AuthorizationCredential,
) -> actix_web::Result<HttpResponse> {
  info!(?auth, "Assign holder request");
  // ...

And checked the logs to see that the auth struct was populated with the correct data from the keyserver.

This is on purpose NOT $ReadOnly - seems like fetch() doesn't like the plus sign 😛

I really don't like passing this param all the time but haven't got any better idea than possibly this:

  1. Create higher-order-function (curry this one) in lib: const httpAuthorizationHeaderFactoryFn = b64encodeFn => authMetadata => { ... }
  2. For each platform create {keyserver,native,web}/utils/some-utils.js with
    • keyserver: const createHTTPAuthorizationHeader = httpAuthorizationHeaderFactoryFn(the_above_Buffer_from_fn);
    • native: const createHTTPAuthorizationHeader = httpAuthorizationHeaderFactoryFn(some_fns_from_commUtilsModule);
    • web: const createHTTPAuthorizationHeader = httpAuthorizationHeaderFactoryFn(btoa);

But the above is still not perfect. Let's assume I want to add another utility function on top of this one:

function createDefaultHTTPHeaders(authMetadata: AuthMetadata): { [string]: string } {
  const authorizationValue = createHTTPAuthorizationHeader(authMetadata);
  return {
    Authorization: authorizationValue,
  };
}

I'd have to repeat this function 3 times per platform, or curry the same way as the original: const defaultHTTPHeadersFactory = authHeaderFn => authMetadata => { ... }

Not sure if we can elegantly solve this. Maybe some platform-specific config might help... not sure if it is worth it.

Probably I'll have to add the js-only base-64 dependency to lib.

I worked around passing callback to multimedia endpoints, but reports stuff is mostly lib-only so no good way of doing it.
The library is slower than platform-specific APIs I mentioned above, but Authorization header isn't too much data so performance shouldn't hurt
