Documentation on OIDC Authorization sending Header

API

In the documentation https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/authentication#oidc-authorization-code-flow-id-tokens-and-user-access-tokens

It requires to send a user to the authorize endpoint. However the accompanied curl in the documentation tells us to add a header?

curl -H 'Accept: application/vnd.twitchtv.v5+json' \ -X GET 'https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=uo6dggojyb8d6soh92zknwmi5ej1q2&redirect_uri=http://localhost&scope=viewing_activity_read&state=c3ab8aa609ea11e793ae92361f002671'

How are we supposed to signal a browser to send a url with a specific header?

Not sure why those examples are there like they are; the page doesn’t even return json like requested in the example’s Accept header. Just send the user to the URL constructed like in the example.

I thought so, because it works without sending headers… just that my nonce values aren’t returning with the oidc authorization flow
