Bypass Report module session bindings?

How do you bypass the Report module session bindings if you want to call an endpoint from a tool like Fiddler? I've done it before by setting something in the header and/or query string.

Instead of trying to bypass session checks or session bindings, I would just start a regular session and use Fiddler to capture and modify a valid request. There are two ways you can capture a valid session request:

1. If you are running Website or Document locally, enable capturing "all processes" with Fiddler. Then, you can capture a server to server call from Website/Document to Report by executing code that would call the Report module (i.e. run a BKR, Matter Benchmark, or Business Investigator report).
2. If you are NOT running Website or Document locally, you can still capture a call to Report from your browser. Simply enable Fiddler capturing and go to a BKR, Business Investigator, or Professional Report. All of these reports make Ajax calls to the Report module by using `x-cobalt-host` routing. The advantage to this method is that you can do this in any environment... even PROD.

Anyways, once you have a valid capture, simply drag the captured request in to the Composer window. From there, you can modify the request as you see fit and re-execute it. You can modify the post body, URL, headers, etc. Make sure you keep your session active by keeping your browser window open.

Does anyone know if this functionality is disabled in prod?
