Where does Dancer2 get the user that is returned with $dsl->app->request->user? I have a hard time finding this in Dancer2::Core::Request.pm, where it's in the documentation.

Since nobody has answered this, I will take a stab at it from memory. My suspicion: if there was Basic Auth, then there will be a User value. Without auth, I don't think you will get any user value. It could be from a special URL format, like this: http://username:password@example.com/ The User value is encoded in the Authorization header. If I am right, this is not specific to Dancer.
