Description
Hi,
I am trying to set HTTP headers like `Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, Cache-Control ` by setting values in jupyter_notebook_config.py as
```
c.NotebookApp.tornado_settings = {
'headers': {
X-Content-Type-Options': 'nosniff'
}
}
```
However, when notebook is opened in Firefox or IE, it by default goes to /tree? (when user logged in) and /login (if user not logged in). In both of these cases headers are not present. Headers are present only when user is logged in and no /tree? etc path is appended in URL.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with jupyter_notebook_config.py and the tornado_settings headers configuration, then reproduce requests to /login and /tree in both authenticated and unauthenticated states. Compare their response headers with the direct notebook URL; done means the configured headers are present on all relevant responses.
