Answer from AI

The Authorization header is used to transmit user authorization data in HTTP.

It contains information about the type of authorization and the corresponding credentials. For example:

Basic authorization: Authorization: Basic <credentials> (where <credentials> is a base64-encoded string of username:password)
Bearer token: Authorization: Bearer <token>

Example:

Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...

This header allows the server to identify and authenticate the user during requests.
