This is a tricky one, on the surface, security first, why would you want to do that?
But:
- There isn't a Spec / RFC enforcing it.
- Some single sign-on solutions even rely on it.
Request that do implement such a thing:
So does curl (but only when using a http proxy?)
Either way, I am not rushing to fix this, but a heads-up if anyone is using node-fetch for authorisation.
