I thought that I could use list_running_servers and check the auth token against the one passed in the URL to match the server process with the one that launched the browser. But I can't, because the token passed to the browser is just the one-time token, which isn't stored in the server info that's returned from list_running_servers. So the information that would allow me to tell which server process ran the browser is, ironically, printed to the console, but not passed to the browser. Would it be possible for the "regular" token to be passed to the browser as well as the one-time token? Or is there some other way for the browser to identify the notebook server process that launched it?
I must say I've never fully understood the purpose of the one-time token. Is it just so that if the user closes the notebook tab in their browser, they can then just navigate to the server URL without having to supply a token again? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Jupyter" group.
