Local development with proxy that requires authentication.

[lukasz-madon]

I have a local Flask server that I'd like to use in development. The problem with using given proxy is that the server uses classic cookie session based authentication. What are the potential solutions for this?

• Set cookie in public/index.html - That would require setting cookies in every dev machine and they expire. I could add a script that would inject it.
• Add authentication endpoint - it would need to run first before every request is made.
• I was thinking if I could hijack localhost+port somehow but that sounds like a bad idea.

Adding an authentication endpoint seems like the most sensible solution imo. Simply make it accept bogus credentials during development and have your first mounting component hit it with a did mount hook.

I'm going to close this because it's a general question better suited for Stack Overflow.
I hope my comment above helped!
