API: where to add header in python-JIRA authentication

[Himanshu Pupneja]

Where should I add a header in python-jira authentication?

My header should be like the below. load balancer is redirecting request based on dns name only. That's why it is required for me.

Header:

'host': 'DNS_of_server'

I have the below code, where should I add the header in this? I couldn't able to find that in the documentation.

 options = {
    'server': 'https://ip-address',
 }
 try:
    jira = JIRA(options, basic_auth=(user, passwd))
 except JIRAError as e:
    print(e.status_code, e.text)

It works fine in curl command when I pass header parameter with curl.

I've added it to the JIRA object in __init__.py but you should be able to update your JIRA object in your code. Look for a headers list in that object

Thanks for your response Matt

Are you referring to this one?

 __init__(self, server=None, options=None, basic_auth=None, oauth=None, jwt=None, kerberos=False, kerberos_options=None, validate=False, get_server_info=True, async=False, logging=True, max_retries=3, proxies=None, timeout=None, auth=None)

Yes. Take a look at dir(jira) and the headers member in there
