## Proxy Authentication
See above for no authentication (`--no-auth`) and basic authentication.
To delegate authentication to a proxy, use the `--proxy-auth-username` flag. The specified header name, for example `X-Forwarded-User`,
must be present in the request headers and specifies the username. Basic authentication is disabled when this flag is set.
Warning: rest-server trusts the username in the header. It is the responsibility of the proxy
to ensure that the username is correct and cannot be forged by an attacker.
