The corresponding signature base is:

NOTE: '' line wrapping per RFC 8792

"date": Tue, 20 Apr 2021 02:07:55 GMT "@method": POST "@path": /foo "@authority": example.com "content-type": application/json "content-length": 18 "@signature-params": ("date" "@method" "@path" "@authority"
"content-type" "content-length");created=1618884473
