Passport HTTP Header Authentication Strategy

The `passport-http-header-strategy` package provides a flexible HTTP header-based authentication strategy for the Passport.js framework. It enables developers to authenticate requests by extracting a token from a custom HTTP header (e.g., `X-API-Key`), or optionally from a request body or query parameter, rather than being limited to the standard `Authorization: Bearer` scheme. Currently at version 1.1.0, the package has not seen significant updates in several years, suggesting a stable but largely unmaintained status. It integrates seamlessly into existing Passport-based applications, allowing for stateless (session-less) authentication, which is common for API-driven services. Its key differentiator is the configurability of the header name and parameter name, offering more customization than some other token-based strategies.
