Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/869

In the doc for sending a message via PowerShell and using a token the doc uses this example:

# With PowerShell 7 or greater, we can use the Authentication and Token parameters
$Request = @{
  Method = "POST"
  URI = "https://ntfy.example.com/mysecrets"
  Authorization = "Bearer"
  Token = "tk_AgQdq7mVBoFD37zQVN29RhuMzNIz2"
  Body = "Look ma, with auth"
}
Invoke-RestMethod @Request

When I run this with my URI and Token I get the error: "Cannot bind parameter 'Token'. Cannot convert the "tk_AgQdq7mVBoFD37zQVN29RhuMzNIz2" value of type "System.String" to type "System.Security.SecureString"."

Changing the "Token =" line to below works for me:

Token = ConvertTo-SecureString -string "tk_AgQdq7mVBoFD37zQVN29RhuMzNIz2" -AsPlainText -Force

Also, Authorization = Bearer should be Authentication = Bearer

The actual header sent will be Authorization: Bearer tk_AgQdq7mVBoFD37zQVN29RhuMzNIz2, so I would have expected PowerShell to be Authorization = "Bearer tk_AgQdq7mVBoFD37zQVN29RhuMzNIz2" like in the other PowerShell examples.

Somebody else provided the PowerShell examples, so I can't really help.

Let me know what works and I will adjust the docs.

Per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/invoke-restmethod?view=powershell-7.3 the parameter is Authentication.

Under the description of that parameter it says "Bearer: Requires the Token parameter. Sends an RFC 6750 Authorization: Bearer header with the supplied token." so the parameter is one thing (Authentication) but the header it sends is another (Authorization).

@jimholcomb Would you mind creating a PR for this, or providing a fully functioning example?
