the endpoint is here

https://github.com/SCE-Development/Clark/blob/7caadc0adbfd83cb9ec866f9113ef41a19a30afb/api/main_endpoints/routes/User.js#L171

where we call it from the frontend is here

https://github.com/SCE-Development/Clark/blob/7caadc0adbfd83cb9ec866f9113ef41a19a30afb/src/APIFunctions/User.js#L21

at the moment we are sending the token as part of the JSON body, when instead we should send the token as part of the HTTP header.

game plan

[ ] learn how to send a token in the authorization header with axios
[ ] learn how to parse the token from the header instead of the JSON body in the first link above
[ ] refactor the tests in https://github.com/SCE-Development/Core-v4/blob/de32dd125c212c699c1ab73387c6a609414237dc/test/api/User.js#L109 to reflect the new location of the token in the request
