Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

Hi, I'd like to be able to use OTT plugin without session middleware (because for some reason i'm getting 401 UNAUTHORIZED) even tho I'm passing my own middleware auth logic.

export const oneTimeToken = (options?: OneTimeTokenOptions) => {
	return {
		id: "one-time-token",
		endpoints: {
			generateOneTimeToken: createAuthEndpoint(
				"/one-time-token/generate",
				{
					method: "GET",
					use: [sessionMiddleware], // <--- ability to customize this/remove
				},

[wrangler:inf] GET /v0/ott/token 200 OK (1582ms)
⎔ Reloading local server...
c.req.header() {
  accept: '*/*',
  'accept-encoding': 'br, gzip',
  'cf-connecting-ip': '::1',
  host: 'localhost:8787',
  'my-api-key': 'aaa',
  'my-org-id': 'bbb'
}
✘ [ERROR] Error generating one-time token: [APIError] {
    status: 'UNAUTHORIZED',
    body: undefined,
    headers: {},
    statusCode: 401
  }

This is done because when you verify an OTT it returns the session attached to the initially generated token.

If you want to just have a verification system of a given token then I recommend the api-key plugin.
