I really prefer it this way. We need to make it extra easy to query

I have looked at
https://docs.sonatype.com/display/Nx/Nexus+Rest+API
and, in the authentication section they state:
GET - /authentication/logout - Expire an authToken Authorization
Header
This is completely UNRestFul, since it subvert the semantics of the
GET
verb (safe and idempotent), and it encodes in the URI an operation and
not a resource.
I am -1 for this.
I have no idea about implementation. All I was saying is that IMO we
should offer a REST API that works when not authenticated (in that
case the user is considered Guest).
