Numbas LTI show request headers on "not SEB launch" page

Instructions

  • Put seb_show_headers.patch in your numbas-lti-provider directory.
  • Run git apply seb_show_headers.patch.
  • Run supervisorctl restart numbas_lti:

When you launch a Numbas exam through SEB, the "Not launched by Safe Exam Browser" page will show you the page's URI, all request headers, and all GET and POST data.

There should be a header called X-Safeexambrowser-Configkeyhash which is the sha-256 created by concatenating the request URI and the SEB config key.
