Move PG_MAX_AUTH_TOKEN_LENGTH to libpq/auth.h

danielgustafsson · danielgustafsson · commit e21d6f297158 · 2025-01-31T15:39:35.000+01:00
Future SASL mechanism, like OAUTHBEARER, will use this as a limit on token messages coming from the client, so promote it to the header file to make it available. This patch is extracted from a larger body of work aimed at adding support for OAUTHBEARER in libpq.
