oAuth2 Authorization token flow improvements

Please describe feature/problem details and the solution you'd like. We use a custom authorization header instead of Authorization, which means when we use the oAuth2 flow, we have to manually copy and paste the token to an environment variable.

A possible solution would be: Allow for defining a header other than Authorization in the advanced part of the oauth2 flow.

Another solution would be to make the post-request scripts work with the authorization requests. This way we could set a dynamic variable in memory.

Describe alternatives you've considered I tried something like this

tc.request.setHeader('Custom-Header', tc.request.getHeader('Authorization'))

which also doesn't work and would be another viable solution to our issue

@rangav for the oauth2 improvements, can I access the OAuth2 tab via scripting?

This doesn't work: const accessToken = tc.request.auth.oauth2.get('accessToken')

Error in Pre Request Script: - Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'oauth2')

@aagranovExtend Currently not possible, I will add it in the next update.

We published new update to add further improvements in v2.25.8

New Additions:

• Access authorization header in Post Req Script - tc.request.getHeader('Authorization')
• Added auth property to request model in script. To get access token use this - tc.request.auth.oauth2.accessToken. Log auth property using console.log(tc.request.auth) to see all props available.
