request header Authorization is null

[eymen-elkum]

Hi @ADmad I was working in my local PC testing my app with bin\cake server and every thing was OK.

but when I upload my app to the server I had an issue that my request header Authorization is always null.

I made two reuest in the same time one to the test server and one to the remote server and made some checks.

I found that the problem starts from environment because this array is different in the two servers.

this is the test server _environment array

Helps if you read the documentation. There is a note in readme's Working section which mentions this potential issue and resolution.
