Can someone help me understand how to authorize http requests to node-red? I'm trying to create an http in node that accepts data from a mobile app, but I keep getting 401 response. I created a device token (https://signalk.org/specification/1.7.0/doc/access_requests.html), granted it read/write, and am passing it in the Authorization header, but still get a 401.

$ curl http://pi.local:3000/signalk/v1/requests/<UUID>
{"state":"COMPLETED","requestId":"<UUID>","accessRequest":{"permission":"APPROVED","token":"<TOKEN>"},"statusCode":200,"href":"/signalk/v1/requests/<UUID>","ip":"::ffff:192.168.50.50"}

$ curl -i -XPOST -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>" http://pi.local:3000/plugins/signalk-node-red/redApi/sensor-log

That looks perfect Can you try just doing a GET on /plugins/signalk-node-red

401 with a GET as well
