Auth with headers

Allow or deny a request based on a known pre-shared key in a header. This is not meant to replace the WebCrypto API.
/**
* @param {string} PRESHARED_AUTH_HEADER_KEY Custom header to check for key
* @param {string} PRESHARED_AUTH_HEADER_VALUE Hard coded key value
*/

if (psk === PRESHARED_AUTH_HEADER_VALUE) {
// Correct preshared header key supplied. Fetch request from origin.
return fetch(request);
}
// Incorrect key supplied. Reject the request.
