Add custom header field in request of AVPlayer

Question

Is it possible to send headers with an http request to an audio file when using AVPlayer? I need to be able to inspect the content of the header when received by the server

Answer 1

Answer in Swift, AVURLAssetHTTPHeaderFieldsKey option will work like a charm.

 let headers: [String: String] = [
    "custome_header": "custome value"
 ]
 let asset = AVURLAsset(url: URL, options: ["AVURLAssetHTTPHeaderFieldsKey": headers])
 let playerItem = AVPlayerItem(asset: asset)
 player = AVPlayer(playerItem: item)
