How to disable code-server-session when using subpath?

[zhaozhiming]

Hi all,
I start an inner API server in code-server, something like localhost:8888.

I can access success the API through subpath like localhost:8080/proxy/8888 in the browser.

But I can not access the API through curl in the terminal. I encounter the error: 'Found. Redirecting to ./../login?to=% '.

I think the reason may be the lack of the code-server-session cookie when using the curl. When I add the cookie it works.

But I hope I can directly access the API without code-server-session using the curl in the terminal.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks.

If you are running the command in code-server's terminal there is no need to go through the proxy, right? You could just directly `curl localhost:8888`.

Yes. I can directly curl localhost:8888 in the code-server's terminal.
But I want to call its internal services from outside the code-server.
In my use case, I have 2 code-server for 2 different people. One is used to develop the frontend project. The other is used to develop the backend project. And the frontend will invoke the backend API to debug something.

That makes sense. Right now there is no way to bypass the auth check unfortunately. Eventually we want to add the ability to make a URL public.

For now I think you would need to use something else to proxy the services or remove password authentication (possibly replacing it with some kind of external authentication).

Thanks. I will try your way.

anything else? how to make it work like these ways:

1. localhost:8888?cookie=xxxx
2. localhost:8888?password=xxx. ps. the $password is the same in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml

This is not possible at the moment, but PRs for this are welcome: #3546
