Inspect the code to see why there is a POST happening with no action.

AuthProvider component that is wrapped around App component calls refreshAuth() which calls fetchAuth() where the Post request is triggered on initial loading of app

Several files in the backend/ folder contain res.sendStatus(401)

• app.js
• user.controller.js
• auth.middleware.js
• user.middleware.js

Used console.log() to track it down. Seems to be coming from verifyCookie function in auth.middleware.js
