Fix auth requests

[jkevingutierrez]

Fix requests that require extra authentication, for example, when using IAP in Google Cloud

---

• Stay on point and keep it small so it can be easily reviewed. For example, try to apply any general refactoring separately outside of the PR.
• Consider adding unit tests, especially for bug fixes. If you don't, tell us why: It will require the creation of a server that will need authentication to test it.
• All new and existing tests pass.
• Linting passes.
• Consider updating documentation. If you don't, tell us why: Small change. No need to update it
• List the environments / platforms in which you tested your changes: Chrome 116.0.5845.179 in mac 13.5.2.

Thank you! I don’t have a good way to test this but the change makes a lot of sense to me so will proceed as-is.
