>Subject: [PATCH] Bug 24862: Handle annonymous sessions gracefuly
>
>This patch introduces code to detect (cookie) annonymous sessions and
>act as expected.
>
>Right now, as check_cookie_auth is not passed the required permissions
>(because there aren't always required permissions, and the code to check
>permissions is shared with other authentication mechanisms) it returns
>'ok' and the session id. This use case was overlooked when this was
>coded, and yeilds unexpected error codes (500) when the user logs out
>and the annonymous session cookie is used to hit the API. The end result
>doesn't pose any security issue (i.e. the resource access is rejected)
>but the returned error code is not correct and should be fixed.
>
>This patch verifies for an anonymous session (and avoids querying the
>corresponding patron) and then verifies if there is an authorization
>config on the route and if the patron object is defined.
>
>To test:
>1. Apply the tests patch
>2. Run:
>   $ kshell
>  k$ prove t/db_dependent/api/v1/auth_authenticate_api_request.t
>=> FAIL: Tests fail, 500 instead of the expected 401
>3. Apply this patch
>4. Repeat 2
>=> SUCCESS: Tests pass!
>5. Repeat the original 'steps to reproduce' from the bug report using
>   the browser
>=> SUCCESS: Problem solved!
