refreshing oauth ID Token passed as HTTP header - like pre-initialised containers

[damianslee]

Hi,
there are a few existing closed issues explaining why shinyproxy can't automatically refresh the oauth ID token.
The main reason seems to not doing it is impossible to update the env variables of a running container.
The workaround is refresh token and oauth Secret need to be made available to the launched container.
I have a issue with making the secret available as well to the containers.

with pre-initialized containers, HTTP header variables are used instead of env variables.
could a shinyproxy manage the refreshes and the current IDtoken be pushed via http headers instead of env variables to the container?

Hi

This could be improved indeed. The code for injecting the headers is located here https://github.com/openanalytics/containerproxy/blob/master/src/main/java/eu/openanalytics/containerproxy/util/ProxyMappingManager.java#L260-L261 .

I created an internal ticket for this as well.

I just implemented this for OpenID, i pushed the code to a branch (openanalytics/containerproxy@9b17969 ) such that you can use it in your PR.
