Update HeaderExtractor to enable REDIRECT_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION #13

Using $_SERVER directly fails Code Climate test

can't fix codeclimate complaining about static access :( |

Don't worry too much about the static access errors, I happily ignore those ;) |

I believe this should be an .htaccess setting, which should forward the HTTP authorisation. Not something inside the scope of this module?

A bit late, but on second thought, I do see value in this, but I'd rather not reed directly from a header, could you update this to use filter_input?

I suppose I could, shouldn’t be hard. But it’s been a while and I don’t have that setup anymore where this was an issue, so can’t actually test it now. Try to find a moment to set something up...

Took me quite a while to figure out what was going on the last time, because it just doesn’t work, without any errors... and it’s a nice and easy fix 🙂 Also SilverStripe core BasicAuth has taken this same approach, so I think it would be consistent... And also, but that could be a personal issue, I couldn’t get the htaccess solution working, nor did porting it to lighttpd work... |

Any status update on this? I still think an .htaccess change is the way to go.... |

This works, but it does probably bypass CORS allow-headers settings for Authorization. So probably they should be validated in some way as well, do you think?
