Here's one option:
```python
response = await datasette.client.get(path, request=request)
```
But this feels confusing to me. We're not using the `request=` argument as a request - we're using it as a source of some default request values (the cookies and incoming headers, but not the path).

We're essentially combining that request with the other arguments passed to `.get()`.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",721068929,

Tailscale is a good example of a system where authentication based on IP address can actually work well, so this is worth doing. Also, there might be authentication mechanisms which work by setting a custom header on the incoming request (not to mention the `Authorization` header).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",721068929,

`/-/permissions` appears to work across this boundary, but again a test would be useful confirmation.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",721068929,

One option: add a `x-internal: 1` request header - and ensure that any requests from outside Datasette have that header stripped.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",721068929,
