[ruby-core:83628] [Ruby trunk Bug#14071] HTTP Header requiring dual authorization fails with 'header field value cannot include CR/LF'

Issue #14071 has been updated by phluid61 (Matthew Kerwin).


From my understanding of the HTTP specs that define the Authorization header, there's no standards-compatible way to send multiple Authorization header fields in a single message. So I don't think it can be called Ruby's bug.

According to [this Stack Overflow question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29282578/multiple-http-authorization-headers), servers that require multiple Authorization fields apparently might accept a flattened, comma-separated list (which is the inline representation for any other standard multi-valued header (aside from cookies)).

Have you tried: `request["authorization"] = "Bearer #{pf_token}, #{ck_token}"` ?

----------------------------------------
Not sure if this is a bug or not but I know where it was introduced and when it worked.

ruby 2.3.1p112 (Code Works)
ruby 2.3.4p301 (Code Works)
ruby 2.3.5p376 (Code Fails)
ruby 2.4.1p111 (Code Works)
ruby 2.4.2p198 (Code Fails)


My code that works - (Depending on Ruby version - see above versions of ruby for pass fail status):

# Start Working Code

```
        url = my_url + "/PasswordVault/WebServices/PIMServices.svc/Accounts?Safe=" + safe
        url += "&Keywords=" + keywords if ! keywords.nil?

        uri = URI.parse(url)

        http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
        http.use_ssl = true

        request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)

        request["authorization"] = "Bearer #{pf_token}\r\nAuthorization: #{ck_token}"
        request["oauth_clientid"] = pf_credentials['client_id']
        request["content-type"] = 'application/json'

        # Send the request
        http.set_debug_output $stderr
        res = http.request(request)
 ```

I am no expert and the code above may be a hack but it works on sites where dual authentication is required, at least with some versions of Ruby.  I came to this solution by inspecting the http request by setting 'http.set_debug_output $stderr' and saw that header elements are separate by '\r\n'


This curl comand works:

curl -X GET 'https://xxxx/PasswordVault/WebServices/PIMServices.svc/Accounts?Safe=Safe1' -H 'authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' -H 'authorization: YYYYYYYYYYY' -H 'content-type: application/json' -H 'oauth_clientid: clientid1'

The above code fails with 'header field value cannot include CR/LF' in:

ruby 2.3.5p376
ruby 2.4.2p198 

This was most recently was re-introduced by this commit: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/427f5b57135fa165990f87c93658fafbe070289f


I have tried the following on the newer failing version of Ruby but these also fail with #<Net::HTTPUnauthorized:0x0000000003183780> => "1012116 - Invalid token."

# Start Failing Code
```
        url = my_url + "/PasswordVault/WebServices/PIMServices.svc/Accounts?Safe=" + safe
        url += "&Keywords=" + keywords if ! keywords.nil?

        uri = URI.parse(url)

        http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
        http.use_ssl = true

        request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)

        request["authorization"] = ["Bearer #{pf_token}",  ck_token]
        request["oauth_clientid"] = pf_credentials['client_id']
        request["content-type"] = 'application/json'

        # Send the request
        http.set_debug_output $stderr
        res = http.request(request)
```

and this:

```
        url = my_url + "/PasswordVault/WebServices/PIMServices.svc/Accounts?Safe=" + safe
        url += "&Keywords=" + keywords if ! keywords.nil?

        uri = URI.parse(url)

        http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
        http.use_ssl = true

        request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)

        request.add_field("authorization", "Bearer #{pf_token}")
        request.add_field("authorization", ck_token)
        request.add_field("oauth_clientid", pf_credentials['client_id'])
        request.add_field("content-type", 'application/json')

        # Send the request
        http.set_debug_output $stderr
        res = http.request(request)
```

Another variation also fails in all versions with "undefined method `strip' for #<Array:0x00000000034ad910>"

```
        url = my_url + "/PasswordVault/WebServices/PIMServices.svc/Accounts?Safe=" + safe
        url += "&Keywords=" + keywords if ! keywords.nil?

        uri = URI.parse(url)

        http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
        http.use_ssl = true

        header = {
          'authorization' => ["Bearer #{pf_token}", "#{ck_token}"],
          'oauth_clientid' => pf_credentials['client_id'],
          'content-type' => 'application/json'
        }

        # Send the request
       
        http.set_debug_output $stderr
        res = http.request_get(uri.path, header)      
```
