This is a simple stand-alone server that allows an authenticated user to retreive their userid and syncNode from the firefox sync account database. We plan to use it internally for caching-proxying some authentication data into AWS.

It exposes a single API endpoint:

GET /whoami

Returns a JSON mapping of account data for the user identified in the Authorization header. The mapping will have the following entries:

• userid: integer, internal numeric user identifier
• syncNode: string, the user's currently-assigned sync node

Possible errors:

• 401: the provided auth credentials were not correct
• 503: there was an error getting the information
