API Testing Challenges 32 - How To - unauthorized secret note 401

How to complete the unauthorized secret note challenge, which returns a status code of 401 Unauthorized.

Issue a GET request on the `/secret/note` end point and receive 401 when no X-AUTH-TOKEN header present

- `GET` request means use the HTTP Verb GET
- e.g. `GET /secret/note` sends to the secret note endpoint
- `no X-AUTH-TOKEN header present` means no custom header named `X-AUTH-TOKEN` should be added to the message
- add the `X-CHALLENGER` header to track progress
- Receive a 401 UNAUTHORIZED response because no authorization token is present
