* Task queue push task requests set this header value to the actual queue name. Cron requests set * this header value to __cron, since that's actually the name of the hidden queue used for cron * requests. Cron also sets the header X-AppEngine-Cron, which we could check, but it's simpler just * to check the one. * *

* App Engine allows app admins to set these headers for testing purposes. This means that this auth * method is somewhat unreliable - any app admin can access any internal endpoint and pretend to be * the app itself by setting these headers, which would circumvent any finer-grained authorization * if we added it in the future (assuming we did not apply it to the app itself). And App Engine's * concept of an "admin" includes all project owners, editors and viewers. So anyone with access to * the project will be able to access anything the app itself can access. * *

* For now, it's probably okay to allow this behavior, especially since it could indeed be * convenient for testing. If we wanted to revisit this decision in the future, we have a couple * options for locking this down: * *
