  public static HttpRequestFactory createRequestFactory(HttpTransport transport) {
    return transport.createRequestFactory(new HttpRequestInitializer() {
      public void initialize(HttpRequest request) throws IOException {
        request.getHeaders().setAuthorization("...");
      }
    });
  }
