    Description

      Guacamole's current REST API relies on including the user's auth token within the token query parameter. Using a query parameter in this way is generally regarded as bad practice, as other software between the user and the webapp may log the content of URLs and GET requests insecurely, including these parameters.

      We should instead leverage HTTP headers, allowing the token parameter to be used only for compatibility's sake.
