REST-HTTP-Header is an attribute, not a config setting, so that isn't 
the right place for it.

Before you call the rest module in the post-auth section (in 
sites-enabled/default), you need to set the attribute, e.g.

   update control {
     &REST-HTTP-Header := "x-api-key: 94332cabcdef57456582e5af2bfa123456789"
   }
   rest

See the notes in raddb/mods-available/rest about that attribute, notably 
that it will be consumed after the rest call, so if you are making 
multiple rest calls you'll need to set it each time (using a policy may 
be the cleanest way to do this).
