Comment (by Adrien Kunysz):
Thank you. I don't think your proposal resolves my problem but it gave me
another idea. I can just delete the entry from request.META before calling
the parent __call__. In case anyone else runs into this issue, this is
what I am doing (5.0 has process_request instead of __call__):
{{{
def process_request(self, request):
authenticated = request.META.get("X-Authenticated", "false").lower()
== "true"
if not authenticated and self.header in request.META:
del request.META[self.header]
return super().process_request(request)
}}}
