Problem Description

Currently, Open WebUI cannot connect to a Docling service that requires API key authentication. This prevents integration with secured Docling instances where authentication is necessary.

Desired Solution you'd like

Introduce a new environment variable, e.g. DOCLING_API_KEY, that allows users to configure an API key for Docling.

When Open WebUI makes requests to Docling service, if DOCLING_API_KEY is set, include it in the request headers as:
X-Api-Key: <DOCLING_API_KEY>

If the variable is not set, requests proceed without the header (preserves current behavior)

I need this as well. But having the option to change the header name would be much better. Docling itself requires X-Api-Key, but if you were to deploy Docling to a serverless service, they usually require you to pass your API key in the header, which is "Authorization" in general. It may not be Docling's API key, but needed in the header nevertheless in that situation.

I couldn't manage to deploy Docling to a serverless service tho, neither RunPod nor Lightning AI Cloud.
