Research direction

Start by locating the Navidrome configuration and the code paths that make Subsonic API requests and stream audio. Check how configuration is parsed and how request headers are set in both paths; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Done means optional configured headers are sent with both API and streaming requests, while existing configurations continue to work.

Description

enhancement

Problem

Navidrome servers protected by Cloudflare Access cannot currently be used with cliamp because Cloudflare service tokens require custom headers on API and streaming requests.

Proposal

Allow optional custom HTTP headers in the Navidrome configuration, for example:

[navidrome.headers]
CF-Access-Client-Id = "$CF_ACCESS_CLIENT_ID"
CF-Access-Client-Secret = "$CF_ACCESS_CLIENT_SECRET"

The headers would need to apply to both Subsonic API calls and audio streams. Generic headers could also support other authenticating reverse proxies.
