There was a problem hiding this comment.
note that this is a new file. If you would like to see it somewhere else -- let me know , but it could not go under dandi.api.views.auth due to then circular import.
ATM non-authenticated request is receiving 401 response with "Bearer" as the
auth-scheme:
❯ curl --verbose -J -L -X 'GET' 'http://localhost:8000/api/assets/ac212d93-525a-4454-afdd-85b90aad6143/download/' 2>&1 | grep WW-A
< WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm="api"
But according to the
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Authentication#authentication_schemes
and in particular https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6750 for such
request client should provide "Authorization: Bearer KEY" not "Authorization:
token KEY".
This commit adds support for both so we could follow the standard and retain
support of already implemented client solutions. Such approach is also taken by
GitHub API:
https://docs.github.com/en/rest/authentication/authenticating-to-the-rest-api?apiVersion=2022-11-28
Verification of functionality:
❯ curl -J -L -X 'GET' 'http://localhost:8000/api/assets/ac212d93-525a-4454-afdd-85b90aad6143/download/'
{"detail":"Authentication credentials were not provided."}% ❯ curl -J -L -X 'GET' 'http://localhost:8000/api/assets/ac212d93-525a-4454-afdd-85b90aad6143/download/?content_disposition=attachment' -H 'Authorization: Bearer 21a587dff19ec6956364443b97414d8bb4331b09'

It is pretty much the "Bearer TOKEN" method but which uses different keyword "Token". It is e.g. the one provided by Django REST Framework. GitHub allows for both 'Bearer' and 'Token' keywords: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/authentication/authenticating-to-the-rest-api?apiVersion=2022-11-28 In our case of DANDI we ran into it only now that we decided to add handling of embargoed datasets, for which we need to authenticate to access the files. We are using Django REST Framework and insofar decision was made to retain current approach (and fix WWW-Authentication header response), instead of an alternative to allow for both 'Bearer' and 'Token' as was suggested in dandi/dandi-archive#1830 As it is ad-hoc (nothing AFAIK in W3C standard) Authentication response I do not think some automation would ever be created based on WWW-Authentication but we will be able to support such providers.

RFC 6750 does not apply to DRF's token authentication scheme, since DRF is not an OAuth 2.0 service. Together with the discussion in #1825, that means we should close this PR. |
