[auth] Add custom header injection to JsonRpcBase (API key support)
Summary
This PR contributes unit test coverage for the recently merged custom header support in JsonRpcBase, originally implemented by @Transia-RnD in commit 6c8bab5.
Changes
• Added test_json_rpc_base.py with tests for:
• Global header usage
• Per-request header overrides
• No-header fallback
• 401/403 handling via XRPLAuthenticationException
• Defined XRPLAuthenticationException (if not already present upstream)
• Updated .gitignore to exclude .jrb/ local virtualenv
Context
This test suite helps confirm correctness and stability for consumers using authenticated or rate-limited XRPL infrastructure, and ensures that the new header logic behaves as expected under typical and error scenarios.
Let me know if you’d prefer the tests split out into a separate PR or further generalized to cover WebsocketBase.
