Description

Description

On the platform specific WebView you can launch the browser view with some additional headers set (for example for authentication). Maui WebView doesn't have this capability at the moment and you must override handlers mapping for each platform

Public API Changes

<WebView Source={Binding Url} Headers={Binding Headers} />

Intended Use-Case

Simplify webview automatic authentication

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the WebView handler and how to pass headers to platform specific implementations (Android, iOS, Windows). Look at existing platform specific WebView APIs for setting custom headers on requests.
