Malformed header triggers errors rather than exception handling

[cugels]

When sending a POST call to /auth, an errored header with junky fields, triggers a 500 server error. I assume that it should send back a response with the error code or some exception handling message.

To replicate this, type some junk into the key and value, then make a call. If you get the error I’m seeing, on a dev instance, the error handler spits out:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'
Then the callback ends with:
There’s a long list of errors, which end with:
File "D:_xampp\htdocs_github\spear_api\flask\venv\lib\site-packages\flask_jwt_init_.py", line 115, in _default_auth_request_handler
username = data.get(current_app.config.get('JWT_AUTH_USERNAME_KEY'), None)

It looks like this is related to an old issue, so perhaps this has reemerged:
#80
