How to Pass Username and Password using POSTMAN – Rest Client

According to someone who may be in the know...

The justification is that the advantage of covariance is outweighed by the disadvantage of clutter (i.e. everyone would have to make a decision about whether to use Task or ITask in every single place in their code).

It sounds to me like there is not a very compelling motivation either way. ITask<out T> would require a lot of new overloads, probably quite a bit under the hood (I cannot attest to how the actual base class is implemented or how special it is compared to a naive implementation) but way more in the form of these linq-like extension methods.

Somebody else made a good point - the time would be better spent making classes covariant and contravariant. I don't know how hard that would be, but that sounds like a better use of time to me.

On the other hand, somebody mentioned that it would be very cool to have a real yield return like feature available in an async method. I mean, without sleight of hand.

I have an example of doing this...

1. The callback URL as defined in the Cognito User Pool console under App Integration / App client settings.
2. The URL for the login endpoint of your domain. This will be under Cognito User Pool / App Integration / Domain Name
3. Client ID is found under Cognito User Pool / General Settings / App clients
4. List the scopes you want to include in the Access Token. These must be enabled under Cognito User Pool / App Integration / App client settings. These can be either standard or custom scopes. Custom scopes are defined under App Integration / Resource servers and must include the resource server ID (e.g. https://myresource.com/myscope)
5. Click Request Token

You may now log in to your Cognito User Pool and receive an Access Token! The problem is that once you have the Access Token it isn't usable within Postman because Cognito expects it to be bare and Postman automatically prepends 'Bearer' to the token: The token can be used in cURL though: curl -i -H "Authorization: dyJraWQiOiI1YVcwTUlqN1hBaHg4Yzh4Q3JNT2RsQjhZWjlCR3NQOE9BbkFlVFJtUklRPSIsImFsZyI6IlJTMjU2In0.eyJzdWIiOiI3YmEwZmMzOC01ZDcwkYS05MTI5ZTBmYTUzNTEiLCJ0b2tlbl91c2UiOiJhY2Nlc3MiLCJzY29wZSI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9hcGkubXk5MC5jb21cL3BvbGljZURlcGFydG1lbnRzLnJlYWQiLCJhdXRoX3RpbWUiOjE1NDA1OTIzMTYsImlzcyI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9jb2duaXRvLWlkcC51cy1lYXN0LTEuYW1hem9uYXdzLmNvbVwvdXMtZWFzdC0xX2xIbGo4NXpRYSIsImV4cCI6MTU0MDU5NTkxNiwiaWF0IjoxNTQwNTkyMzE2LCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjoyLCJqdGkiOiJhN2JiOWU2MC1kNmY1LTQ3ODYtODMwYi0xODdkZDZmYTZlODAiLCJjbGllbnRfaWQiOiI2MzhlYmZ1dTdiZDRkMXVkYnRzY2pxcnJncyIsInVzZXJuYW1lIjoicm9qbyJ9.O_GAxfFX3IQfLUu5Hxr05Wrk_2QDwNSL8tvDdEU0Dzs9d1XhQPafT6ney6yiGnKPOwsO8HhWdbT1QdDmByjuwQAURf1Da4Au7c-yhfgJcqWuHWZ4mledTSP8ukXqihMb4PoaDdU4JXyOdMLa50dBXVMgJNyXTpIulWOxFhiTW6DeQbnxNDk94cGNz_CTKCEqKStiloFZfLR7ndSrWqdOQ_SU__YV0RyKXZyK5yguv3nkUcI6cuKpbPVIZ5DNdpufbrtOLuZcC6HePBKrbTKjSZCt5-swy3YrwnY4ApTX7QUFzof6FylWaLA_KVP3Zv6ksSJ_IjBMFH1NRVHh4lbsOA" \ https://xxxxx.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v1/myresource/1234
