[Bug]: Reverse proxy header auth still prompts for password about actual HOT 4 CLOSED

@slapcat the changes to support header auth are only in the master branch at the moment. So you need both the master branch of acutal-server AND the master branch of the UI. The server master branch comes with the released version of the UI, and not master, which is likely resulting in the issue you are seeing.

Thanks for clarifying that @twk3 ! I'm trying to figure out how to use the master branch of the UI with the actual-server, but I'm having trouble finding the common files between the two. Can you share the steps?

In the actual checkout, you build the UI using:

1. yarn install
2. ./bin/package-browser

Then in the actual-server checkout, you add the UI as a file path based dependency.

1. yarn add <path-to-actual-checkout/packages/desktop-client

And then running the server like normal should give you the UI that you built

Thanks! Once I did that the header auth worked as expected.
