Research direction

Start by locating the connection setup and request handling entry points in the Tether codebase; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Trace how requests to Open WebUI are made and determine where custom headers would need to apply. Done means configured headers are sent with every connection request and the Pangolin protected resource works remotely.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Version

0.1.13

Platform

Linux

Description

I use Pangolin to connect to Open WebUI as a public resource when not at home. However, when attempting to connect from outside my home network using Tether it sits at a blank white screen.

My recommendation would be to add support for custom headers that get sent along with every request. This would allow me to add a shared link and add the P-Access-Token-Id and P-Access-Token headers to my Open WebUI connection authorizing me when remote.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Run Open WebUI
  2. Expose it via Pangolin as a Public Resource with authorization turned on
  3. Attempt to access Open WebUI from a remote network
