Add REMOTE_USER to werkzeug environment

confuzeus · confuzeus · commit f5b4450f176a · 2022-10-29T18:28:47.000+04:00
Django RemoteUserMiddleware and RemoteUserBackend are able to authenticate users by looking at the REMOTE_USER request header. In Werkzeug, this header isn't set unlike in Django's default WSGI server. This patch add the variable to the Werkzeug environ if it's set. Fixes django-extensions#1708
