Yeah. It’s me not understanding the question I’m asking.

I’m trying to do an auth\_request in NGINX to tell whether the request is coming from a user that’s logged in by querying an URL to see whether it gets a 200 response or not.

It’s occurring to me that doing that is not quite as simple as I’d hoped.
