Responsed Unauthorized 401 in AllowAny permission

[junngo]

Hi there :)
I'd like to know you about this situation and this is just a suggestion.

I happened a similar problem in case #2383
I set AllowAny permission, and DRF returns an Unauthorized 401 response.
The reason is If you call API with Authorization property such as Authorization: Bearer null[0], It return 401.

Regardless of whether there is Authorization property or not, should we consider not causing 401 in AllowAny permission?

AllowAny tries to verify the token if it exists, if it doesn't exist, it moves on. Passing a null value would raise a 401 as expected, the way I see it, you just shouldn't pass the token if it's not valid

I am having the same problem. I have a view inheriting from generics.GenericAPIView. I set specifically permission_classes = (permissions.AllowAny,) but is not working
