We truly are living in the dumbest timeline aren’t we.

I was just having an argument with a high level manager 2 weeks ago about how we already have an outbound proxy that does this, but he insisted that a mitm proxy is not the same as fly.io “tokenizer”. See, that one tokanizes every request, ours just sets the Authorization header for service X. I tried to explain that it’s all mitm proxies altering the request, just for him to say “I don’t care about altering the request, we shouldn’t alter the request. We just need to tokenize the connection itself”
