📄 Description

Description

Users that are using some form of proxy or trusted header authentication are going to have issues with this desktop app as it is not designed to work with proxy authentications.

I am testing adding an option when adding a new open-webui web server to allow for a "Browser Window" type of authentication that will allow one to authenticate and cache a successful cookie in the same electron session that can then be used by the Desktop app.

Node.js is not a strength of mine, so I relied heavily on codex. I am making a PR to track my changes. But I will figure out how to build and I will try to test this out tomorrow.
