The [opentelemetry-specification](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/protocol/exporter.md#specifying-headers-via-environment-variables) wants `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS` to conform to the [Baggage HTTP Header Format](https://github.com/w3c/baggage/blob/main/baggage/HTTP_HEADER_FORMAT.md). To effectively use the headers from `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS` for things like authentication (a common use case) the values need to be decoded. Given a header like this: ``` export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS="Authorization=Basic base64" ``` The code prior to this commit would reject the header for containing whitespace mid-value. If the header is modified to this: ``` export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS="Authorization=Basic%20base64" ``` The code prior to this commit would send the header as `Authorization: Basic%20base64`, which will be rejected upstream. This change applies `urllib.parse.unquote` to header **names** and **values**, based on precedent set by the following libraries: - [opentelemetry-go](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go) - [opentelemetry-js](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js) - [opentelemetry-ruby](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-ruby)

Compare
Unquoting header keys and values **after** calling `str.strip()` opened
the possibility for user encoding errors where a header contained
invalid whitespace. Unquoting **before** `str.strip()` aligns
`opentelemetry-python` with other `opentelemetry-{lang}` libraries that
implemenent URL decoding.
The HTTP exporter allows headers to be provided as `Dict[str, str]`. The gRPC exporter required headers to be `Sequence[Tuple[str, str]]`. This commit enables the `Dict[str, str]` format for gRPC.

Description
The opentelemetry-specification wants
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERSto conform to the Baggage HTTP Header Format.To effectively use the headers from
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERSfor things like authentication (a common use case) the values need to be decoded.Given a header like this:
The code prior to this commit would reject the header for containing white space mid-value.
If the header is modified to this:
The code prior to this commit would send the header as
Authorization: Basic%20base64, which will be rejected upstream.This change applies
urllib.parse.unquoteto header names and values, based on precedent set by the following libraries:Fixes #2248 1
1 This PR does not restore previous functionality (where the header
strcould be provided with spaces in the values), but it does provide the ability to provide a headerstrwith encoded spaces. I also added the ability to passheadersasDict[str, str]to address both issues raised in #2248. These can be split into individual PRs if needed.Type of change
