-Summary: HTTP_AUTORIZATION header missing when php module is used +Summary: HTTP_AUTORIZATION header missing for Bearer Auth when using apache module
 [2016-08-26 07:17 UTC] cpuidle at gmx dot de 
To be clear: the $_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'] variable is empty while apache_request_headers() shows that the Authorization header is indeed present. 

It doesn't seem to get picked up by PHP, but why?

Looking at https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/9fc0a5e049ade8082b2b9a45687ac8cbd694f731/main/main.c#L2615 it seems that PHP _only_ supports Basic and Digest authorization and nothing else.

Right; regardless of the SAPI.  The manual, apparently a bit
outdated, claims[1]:

| Both "Basic" and "Digest" authentication methods are supported.

Use the oauth extension for bearer authentication (or a PHP
library, or roll your own :).
