Allows to get rid of referer magic, so it's a nice change to have. See this issue for details: npm/npm-registry-client#88

For token-based auth,
npm whoamimakes a request tourl.resolve(registryURL, '/whoami'). The only known implementer of this endpoint is npmE. As @isaacs pointed out today, this overwrites the path for any package namedwhoamiin the registry (and a useful package by that name exists!). We need to use the/-/path prefix instead, so/-/whoami.First we'll need to fix the relevant endpoint in npmE, and after that's had a chance to settle, make this change in
npm-registry-client(preferably beforeregistry-2goes live)./cc @seldo @bcoe @mmalecki
