I think very important.

This is a must-have! Otherwise you can't use any authentication header, like a Bearer token?!

[it11111111]

This is crucial

[bijington]

@kapsiR and @it11111111 we openly accept PRs to this repository, if it is something that is crucial or a must-have would either of you be willing to contribute such a feature?

[kapsiR]

@bijington May you guide us where to start here please? Is there any architecture overview that we have to consider?

[bijington]

Yes of course, we typically want to make sure that the community buys into feature requests and hope for at least 10 votes on the request before we proceed, I know this item doesn't but I will mark it for discussion for the next standup and see what the team think as I suspect it will be of value.

In the meantime we have the contributing guide hear: https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Maui/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md

The next step would be to come up with some level of API design to show how this would work for developers rather than the bare submission in this request but we can work on that together.
