Don't forget that you can use a cookie or secure cookie for this purpose. 
Its hard to see that using a bearer token in an Authorization header is 
better than a secure cookie, because - the browser enforces some extra 
constraints around secure cookie to make them more secure and the cookies 
are shared accross a domain meaning if the user pops up a second tap by 
ctrl-clicking a link in your application, authentication can flow accross. 
However, it seems not to be the done thing for REST APIs.
