Authenticate using Postman to test REST API

[rvishna]

I am using code-server to develop a REST API. I am running code-server with the PASSWORD environment variable (not --link mode).

$ code-server --version
3.9.1 e0203f2a36c9b7036fefa50eec6cf8fa36c5c015

With static HTML pages, I've been able to use the /proxy/ or /absproxy/ suffix to access them from the browser after authenticating to code-server. For testing my REST API, I am not sure how to authenticate using Postman. I am testing a POST request. My REST API itself doesn't require authentication. But since it is being proxied through code-server, I am not sure how to authenticate.

Looks like Postman supports cookies (https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/cookies/) so you could add a cookie with the name of key set to the value of the sha256 of your password (you can either hash it yourself or copy it from the browser).
