Description

Requires a canister to implement http_request method and serve /.well-known/ii-alternative-origins with https://a4gq6-oaaaa-aaaab-qaa4q-cai.raw.icp0.io as an origin, as I currently understand.

If this is a good idea and there is support for this feature, I'm willing to start working on a PR.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Candid UI authentication flow and the canister's http_request entry point. Verify whether serving /.well-known/ii-alternative-origins with the listed origin enables authenticated calls, and confirm the supported approach with the project before implementation. Done means the UI can make authenticated calls through the intended Internet Identity setup.
