Provide Special Header Providers from Java SDK for OnPremise Destinations

[akelsch]

Describe the Problem

For OnPremise destinations we need to set sap-client header. This is not done automatically by Python SDK so we have to set the header manually at the moment.

Propose a Solution

Java SDK is doing that automatically from additional properties as described here: https://sap.github.io/cloud-sdk/docs/java/features/connectivity/http-destinations#special-header-providers

Provide similar functionality in Python SDK, properties are already there but unused as of now.

Hello @akelsch ,

Thanks for raising this — we actually have a similar backlog item already planned.

We agree that automatic handling of the sap-client header (based on destination properties) is an intersting feature to reduce manual effort. As part of this work, we will review the existing requirements and evaluate how to introduce a similar mechanism in the Python SDK.

Our goal is to provide a consistent developer experience while keeping the implementation simple and extensible.

We’ll keep this issue updated as we progress and share more details once the feature scope is finalized.

Best regards,
Guilherme Pretto
