MicroStrategy ONE

Pass Custom HTTP Headers in iOS

Library Mobile SDK for iOS APIs allow you to add custom HTTP headers to each request. Custom request headers are useful for adding additional information in requests made by the Library Mobile client. One example would be adding special authentication information, such as authentication tokens you get from another authentication server, to the headers of HTTP requests. These requests are sent to the MicroStrategy Library sever.

Retrieve the SDKEnvSettings util class via MSIGeneric to access the dictionary that stores custom HTTP headers.
