Question
Should this branch set handler._token_authenticated = True.
Technically it is "cookie authenticated", however, the cookie is based on an earlier token.
I ask because it can be useful for a handler to know when token authorisation is in use, for example:
class MyExtensionHandler(ExtensionHandlerMixin, JupyterHandler):
@tornado.web.authenticated
def get(self):
user = self.get_current_user()
if self.token_authenticated:
user = getpass.getuser()
self.write(f'hello {user}') There was a problem hiding this comment.
Opened #566 to follow up on this later.

(I think the Linux/PyPy3 test failure is spurious, could someone re-run it) |
Kicked! |

Sorted. |

Thanks, @oliver-sanders. This looks good to me, but I need to check against JupyterHub's unit tests before merging (hopefully sometime today). We need to add Jupyterhub to our downstream tests (using this configuration). |

This fixes a minor issue where
handler.get_current_userwould return bytes rather than str.Instructions to replicate
Log the result of
handler.get_current_user(), minimal example:Remove the token from the URL and reload the page (forces server to load the cookie value).
You should see the same token (because it was cashed in the cookie) but as bytes:
After this PR both should be str.
