Changelog Entry

Description

When we send a request to /api/chat/completions without the Authorization header, the server just crashes and creates a stack trace, returning "Internal Server Error" to the calling client because of a KeyError. With this fix, the server sends a 401 to the client with the content {"detail": "Not authenticated"}.

Fixed

Add a try/except handle the case where there is no Authorization header. Returns status 401 Not Authorized and {"detail":"Not authenticated"} body if the header is not found.
