How to put the password in the request url? #1285
Description
For example, can I use http://127.0.0.1:8080/?password=balabala to login instead of input the password manually?
Jupyter notebook does it well: http://127.0.0.1:8080/?token=balabala

We set the authentication via
Set-Cookie. there's a value in there calledkey=. That's how we set your password in there. Look in your network requests under/login.ladyrick commentedon Jan 20, 2020
But set-cookie is not so convenient for user to open it directly.

I type the vscode-server url in address bar and open it.
After input the password, I can get access to it.
Then every time I open the url, password is not asked.
But, when I put the vscode-server url in a button
<a href="http://10.20.30.40:9900" target="_blank">code-server</a>and click it to open vscode-server, the password is always required.
Why is that?

As this issue was important for me to be able connect to remote servers using an electron app serving just an URL, I made a workaround, which is made for nginx but could be used with any other reverse proxy I think.
