Authentication APIs

/api/authentication/login

Authenticates existing Filemail user. Returns logintoken - which is used in all subsequest API requests to identify user. Note that authentication is optional - anonymous users can still send files through the Filemail API. The main advantages of having a Filemail account and authenticating is that files can be downloaded more times, and that they are available for a longer period of time.
