Summary

Closes #98

Enables overriding sent HTTP headers (such as \User-Agent) across CLI commands, Python API functions, and declarative workflows.

Motivation

As reported in #98, certain servers (such as Wikidata and Wikimedia endpoints) require specific HTTP headers (particularly a descriptive \User-Agent) and reject default \python-requests\ clients with \403 Forbidden.

Changes Included

  1. Header Parsing & Resolution (\databusclient/api/utils.py):

    • \parse_headers(): converts dicts or iterables of 'Name: Value'\ strings into a clean dictionary (supporting colons in values).
    • \get_default_headers(): establishes a sensible default \User-Agent: databusclient/, respects the \DATABUS_USER_AGENT\ environment variable, and merges user-supplied headers with case-insensitive User-Agent override handling.
  2. Download Module (\databusclient/api/download.py):

    • Passes custom headers in \HEAD, redirect \HEAD, and \GET\ requests.
    • For SPARQL queries, passes custom headers and sets \sparql.agent\ on \SPARQLWrapper.
    • Propagates \headers\ parameter throughout \download(), _download_file(), _download_files(), _download_version(), _download_artifact(), _download_group(), and _download_collection().
  3. Deploy & Delete Modules (\databusclient/api/deploy.py, \databusclient/api/delete.py):

    • Added \headers\ parameter to \deploy(), \deploy_from_metadata(), _load_file_stats(), and \delete().
  4. CLI (\databusclient/cli.py):

    • Added -H, --header\ option to \download, \deploy, and \delete\ CLI commands (repeatable, e.g. -H 'User-Agent: MyBot/1.0').
    • Recorded headers in manifest replay params with sensitive values (\Authorization, \X-API-KEY) automatically redacted.
  5. Workflows (\databusclient/workflow/steps.py):

    • Added support for \headers\ in declarative workflow YAML steps.
  6. Tests & Documentation:

    • Added 17 unit and integration tests in \ ests/test_headers.py\ covering header parsing, defaults, env var override, live SPARQL headers, CLI usage, manifest redaction, and workflow step execution.
    • Updated documentation in \doc/cli-usage.md\ and \doc/module-usage.md.

Verification

  • Tested against live Wikidata SPARQL endpoint: verified 403 Forbidden with default requests UA vs 200 OK with custom User-Agent.
  • Full test suite passing: \200 passed, 3 skipped.
  • Linting clean:
    uff check .\ passed with 0 warnings.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for custom HTTP headers in deploy, download, and delete operations through the CLI, Python API, and workflows.
    • Added default User-Agent handling and support for configuring it through an environment variable or custom headers.
    • Sensitive header values are redacted in manifests, and credentials are not forwarded to untrusted download destinations.
    • Made download and delete available as package-level imports.
  • Documentation

    • Added examples and guidance for using custom headers with downloads.

Walkthrough

The client now accepts optional HTTP headers across download, deploy, and delete APIs. CLI commands and workflow steps pass configured headers to those APIs. CLI manifests sanitize recorded header values, and download requests filter sensitive headers by destination origin.

Changes: Custom HTTP headers

Layer / File(s) Summary
Header parsing and defaults
databusclient/api/utils.py, tests/test_headers.py
Header utilities parse mappings and Name: Value strings, resolve default User-Agent values, and sanitize manifest headers. JSON-LD requests use the resolved headers.
Download header propagation
databusclient/api/download.py, tests/test_headers.py
The download flow forwards headers to metadata, SPARQL, checksum, file, and Vault requests. Redirect handling filters sensitive headers by destination origin. Tests cover header forwarding, redirect filtering, and Vault requests.
Deploy and delete header support
databusclient/api/deploy.py, databusclient/api/delete.py, databusclient/__init__.py, tests/test_headers.py
Deploy and delete APIs accept and forward headers. DeleteQueue stores headers for queued operations. The package exports download and delete.
CLI and workflow integration
databusclient/cli.py, databusclient/workflow/steps.py, doc/cli-usage.md, doc/module-usage.md, tests/test_headers.py
CLI commands add repeatable header options and pass parsed headers to API operations. Workflow steps pass configured headers. CLI manifests sanitize headers, and the documentation includes header usage examples.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 143d9

Custom headers now work across download, deploy and delete. Credential headers such as X-API-KEY can still reach a different host on a redirected download, and deploy sends all supplied headers to third-party distribution URLs. Filter credential headers per destination before merging.

The description thoroughly explains the feature, motivation, affected modules, CLI and workflow support, security handling, tests, documentation, and verification results. It does not use the exact template headings or checklist, but it provides the required substantive information.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#98] requires callers to override sent HTTP headers. The reviewed changes add header parsing, default User-Agent resolution, and case-insensitive overrides. The changes forward headers through download, SPARQL, deploy, file-stat, metadata, delete, queued deletion, recursive deletion, CLI, and workflow paths. The CLI supports repeatable -H/--header options. Tests cover parsing, forwarding, redirects, SPARQL, deploy helpers, delete flows, CLI usage, and workflow execution. The changes also preserve non-sensitive headers and remove sensitive headers from untrusted requests.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed code supports issue [#98]. Header utilities, request forwarding, CLI and workflow support, manifest sanitization, credential filtering, tests, and documentation implement or safely support HTTP header overrides. The package export changes expose the affected API functions. No demonstrated change lacks a connection to the linked issue.

Forward stored headers when executing the delete queue.

DeleteQueue stores headers, but execute() does not pass self.headers to _delete_list. Normal deletion queues each URI before issuing its DELETE requests. Those requests therefore never receive CLI, API, or workflow header overrides. Pass headers=self.headers from execute().

Pass headers through recursive artifact and group deletion.

The public delete entrypoint receives headers, but its artifact and group calls omit them. Their JSON-LD fetches consequently lack the configured headers. Their final-resource deletion calls also omit headers. Forward the value through both recursive paths and their final _delete_resource calls.

Pass deploy headers into fallback file-stat requests.

_load_file_stats can use custom headers, but get_file_info calls it without them when a distribution lacks checksum or size data. create_dataset uses that path before the publish request. A protected distribution can therefore fail to deploy even when the caller provided its required header. Thread deploy headers through create_dataset and get_file_info to this fallback request.

Restrict credential headers to trusted download origins.

If a file HEAD response redirects to another origin, the explicit second HEAD sends the original caller headers to that origin. A SPARQL result can likewise supply a file URL that receives those headers. A supplied Authorization or X-API-KEY can therefore leave its intended origin. Check each destination before forwarding sensitive headers, including explicit redirects and file URLs returned by metadata or SPARQL. Based on learnings, credential-bearing requests must reject untrusted redirects or remove sensitive headers before following them.

Do not pass download credentials to the token endpoint.

req_headers contains all caller-supplied download headers, but __get_vault_access__ sends it on both POSTs to auth_url. With a custom Authorization or API-key header, Vault authentication sends that credential to a separate endpoint alongside the token-exchange requests. Construct token-endpoint headers separately; forward a custom User-Agent only when needed.

Forward headers from version and artifact downloads to their files.

Both helpers accept headers for JSON-LD requests, but their _download_files calls omit it. A version or artifact download therefore uses the custom User-Agent for metadata but reverts to the default for every file. Pass headers=headers in both calls.

Add headers to the group-download path.

Every group download now calls _download_group(..., headers=parsed_headers). The shown _download_group signature does not accept headers. This raises TypeError even when the caller supplies no custom headers. Add the parameter and forward it through group metadata, artifact, and file requests.

Honor Accept overrides regardless of header-name casing.

If a caller supplies accept, this check adds a second Accept entry instead of preserving the override. The collection-query helper has the same check, and deploy and file-download requests use similar exact-case checks. Compare header names case-insensitively wherever a default is inserted.

Do not persist arbitrary header values in manifests.

The CLI accepts any header, but this mask covers only authorization, x-api-key, and token. A caller who uses Cookie, Proxy-Authorization, or X-Auth-Token writes that credential into the manifest. The download and delete commands repeat this behavior. Record only explicitly approved, non-sensitive headers, or omit header values from replay parameters.

Rebased onto the latest main (integrating --user-agent, DEFAULT_USER_AGENT, and connection error handling) and resolved all CodeRabbit review findings:

  1. DeleteQueue.execute() & recursive deletion (databusclient/api/delete.py): Forward self.headers in DeleteQueue.execute() and thread headers through _delete_artifact, _delete_group, and their final _delete_resource calls.
  2. Deploy helpers (databusclient/api/deploy.py, databusclient/cli.py, databusclient/workflow/steps.py): Pass headers through get_file_info() -> _load_file_stats(), create_dataset(), and deploy_from_metadata() -> deploy().
  3. Origin-restricted credentials (databusclient/api/download.py, databusclient/api/utils.py): Strip credential headers (Authorization, X-API-KEY, Cookie, etc.) via strip_sensitive_headers() on cross-origin redirects and external file URLs, as well as before POSTing to Keycloak auth_url in __get_vault_access__(), while retaining non-sensitive headers like User-Agent.
  4. Download & group paths (databusclient/api/download.py): Accept and forward headers (and user_agent) in _download_version, _download_artifact, _download_group, _download_collection, and _download_files.
  5. Case-insensitive header checks (databusclient/api/utils.py, delete.py, deploy.py, download.py): Use shared has_header, set_header, and set_header_if_missing helpers so caller-supplied lowercase/mixed-case accept, accept-encoding, content-type, and x-api-key overrides are honored without duplicate headers.
  6. Manifest header allowlisting (databusclient/cli.py, databusclient/api/utils.py): Use sanitize_headers_for_manifest() across deploy, download, and delete so only explicitly safe headers (User-Agent, Accept, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, Content-Type) are stored and any other header value (Cookie, Proxy-Authorization, X-Auth-Token, etc.) is redacted as ***.
  7. Compatibility & tests (tests/test_headers.py): Unified get_default_headers() with DEFAULT_USER_AGENT and added unit tests covering each fix; poetry run ruff check . passes cleanly and poetry run pytest passes (224 passed, 3 pre-existing skipped).

Assert the SPARQL headers in test_query_sparql_endpoint_sets_headers.

MockSPARQL records customHttpHeaders and agent. The test checks only the returned bindings. If the header forwarding in _query_sparql_endpoint breaks, this test still passes. The Wikidata User-Agent case from the linked issue is not covered on this path. Keep a reference to the instance and assert on it.

Remove the duplicated deploy_from_metadata call.

Both branches pass the same seven positional arguments. Only headers= differs. deploy_from_metadata already accepts headers=None, and _run_classic_mode already passes headers=resolved.get("headers") unconditionally to create_dataset. Use one call.

Proposed change

-            deploy_from_metadata(

Deploy headers are sent unfiltered to third-party file hosts.

_load_file_stats runs for any distribution without a checksum or size. create_dataset calls it through get_file_info. It sends every caller-supplied header, including Authorization and X-API-KEY, to the distribution URL. It also follows redirects. Users usually give these headers for the Databus API. The distribution URL can be on an unrelated host, so the credentials are disclosed to that host.

The download path filters credential headers by destination origin with _headers_for_url. Apply the same filter here. Pass the Databus base origin from version_id as the trusted origin. For other origins, use strip_sensitive_headers.

Sensitive headers can still leave the trusted origin when the GET follows a redirect.

The HEAD loop follows redirects by hand and filters headers at each hop. The GET at Line 577 uses allow_redirects=True. If the GET redirects to another origin, requests strips only Authorization. It forwards X-API-KEY and Cookie, and X-API-KEY is set at Line 567. It also forwards any other custom credential header.

A server can answer HEAD and GET differently, for example with a presigned or open redirect on GET only. In that case the custom credential headers leave the trusted origin. This undermines the cross-origin stripping that this change adds. The bearer retry at Line 622 has the same pattern.

Disable automatic redirects on both GET calls. Reuse the same per-hop _headers_for_url filtering, for example with a shared redirect helper for HEAD and GET.
