In the explorer tab if the header set in # Dgraph.Authorization is not present it won’t respond. It has to be empty or a valid token. Even for requests that do not auth. If I try to make a request from postman however I do get a good response without the header.

Also I get very weird responses in general. If I try to deploy the shema ad remove the # Dgraph.Authorization then it says NO SCHEMA AVAILABLE.

Also I have had it that even after removing the # Dgraph.Authorization it would still not work without the same auth header.

I have also gotten weird behavior that if I remove the token the explorer tab will only return “” and nothing else. The only way to fix this was to keep re-deploying the shema till it was fixed.

What is going on here?
