-------------------------------------

             Summary: Migrate away from including auth token within REST API 
URLs
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-956
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-956
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: guacamole
            Reporter: Mike Jumper


Guacamole's current REST API relies on including the user's auth token within 
the {{token}} query parameter. Using a query parameter in this way is generally 
regarded as bad practice, as other software between the user and the webapp may 
log the content of URLs and GET requests insecurely, including these parameters.

We should instead leverage HTTP headers, allowing the {{token}} parameter to be 
used only for compatibility's sake.
