The recent versions of Ampache support passing the authentication token in a HTTP header instead of using an URL argument or POST data for this: https://ampache.org/api/#http-header-authentication. The forthcoming Ample v3 will use the new authentication mechanism.

It should be investigated if the Music app could support this, too. One potential problem is that the host cloud may intercept the header and do some undesired actions with it.

Ampache: Support authentication using the bearer token header
172f7a8 
Instead of sending the session token as an URL argument, it's now
alternatively possible to deliver it using the HTTP header
`Authorization` with the content "Bearer <token>".

This required using the PHP function getallheaders() which is available
for all HTTP servers starting from PHP 7.3 but only for Apache on older
PHP versions.
