Example for Shiny app reading HTTP headers

With the new container initialization functionality, username and access groups are no longer set as ENVs in the container, but can be sent as HTTP headers. Is there a shiny example of a shiny app that reads the http headers that can be used to incorporate "initialized containers" functionality? Thanks in advance

Hi, thanks for your interest! We will provide a full example soon, in the meantime, you can access the usernames through the session object like this:

session$request$HTTP_X_SP_USERID
session$request$HTTP_X_SP_USERGROUPS

We just published a demo for this: https://github.com/openanalytics/shinyproxy-shiny-demo-auth
I'll close this issue, but of course feedback is welcome!
