Hi CouchDB folks, In the API Reference section on Authentication, under "GET /_session," <http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.1.1/api/server/authn.html#get--_session> it lists the allowed query parameters as:
"*basic* (*boolean*) - Accept *Basic Auth* by requesting this resource. ..." What does this mean? I'm trying to parse that sentence and can't figure it out. Does it mean if you don't have a valid authentication cookie, and you provide "basic=true" as a query param, then you can also pass an Authorization header to successfully retrieve the resource? And if "basic=false" or not provided, then you'll always get a 401 regardless of whether you pass an Authorization header? Also, what is the default value of this parameter? Is it "true" or "false?" As you can no doubt see, I'm confused! Apologies if I'm missing something obvious. Thanks for all that you do, Moses
