/api endpoint authorization method breaks the basic authorizatioin on reverse proxy

[sulisu]

What happened?

1. Config a reverse proxy for Kavita and enable base authentication for the reverse proxy.
2. There is no problem to access the login page,.
3. After enter the credential, browser pop up basic authentiction dialogue. In the following requests after login, such as "https://site/api/device", the authorization header content is replaced by api credential in form of "bearer xxxxxxx", not basic credential used by reverse proxy. So the request can not be authenticated by the reverse proxy.

What did you expect?

Accordint to this two discussion on stackoverflow, Kavita shoud put api authentication message in cookies not in standard HTTP header, or use a non standard http header for its api authentication.

This is probably something better suited for a Feature Request.
