Add a dedicated servlet for checking a user's authorization PolyGerrit currently uses requests to /accounts/self/detail for checking if a user is still logged in. This has the disadvantage that we report this traffic in our endpoint metrics. This makes it hard to distinguish between the real traffic that goes to that endpoint and the auth-check traffic that goes to that endpoint. This change adds /auth-check to offer semantic difference for auth check requests. The new servlet returns 204 NO CONTENT for authenticated users and 403 FORBIDDEN otherwise. The new endpoint is undocumented on purpose as it should only be used by the UI. To be clear: There is no harm in case other callers use the endpoint, but there is also no use-case for now.

Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.
Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.
Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.
For information about how to install and use Gerrit, refer to the documentation.
Our canonical Git repository is located on googlesource.com. There is a mirror of the repository on Github.
Please report bugs on the issue tracker.
Gerrit is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!
Please read the contribution guidelines.
Note that we do not accept Pull Requests via the Github mirror.
The IRC channel on freenode is #gerrit. An archive is available at: echelog.com.
The Developer Mailing list is repo-discuss on Google Groups.
