Re: Pandoc - gitlab - authentication token

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

No way to do this currently.

There is code in openURL (in Text.Pandoc.Shared) that sets
the USER_AGENT header if the USER_AGENT environment variable is set.

One could do something similar for PRIVATE-TOKEN, but I
worry about doing this kind of thing on an ad hoc basis.

Perhaps a more principled approach would be to add a
CLI option that could be repeated and that worked like
the current -V option:

    pandoc --request-header USER_AGENT="Blah blah"
      --request-header PRIVATE-TOKEN="XXXXX"

This would give the needed flexibility...
