Hi! Sure :) But first, we need to figure out how to fix this without introducing a breaking change. Using the Authorization header with a Bearer token is a common and widely adopted approach. So maybe this issue should be handled at the Nginx/Apache level instead of modifying PLANKA - probably by using the Proxy-Authorization header for Basic authentication on the proxy servers. I'll try to test this and see how it can be configured, but haven't had enough time to do that yet.

Unfortunately, there is no way to change Authorization header in the web server side without changing the source code.
