401 while requesting for /v0/item for comments

[hidroh]

Hi please ignore the changes in this PR, I just use it as a way to log issue since the repo does not support issues.

It looks like a lot of comment items returns 401 while being requested, and I have received multiple reports from my client's users.

E.g.:
Story returns 200: https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/10963401.json
Comment under this story returns 401: https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/10963624.json

{
    "error": "Permission denied"
}

A sample curl:

$ curl --verbose https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/10963624.json
*   Trying 104.197.145.189...

Seems to be resolved now.

Just a note that I got this error too few hours ago. Wondering if this is a bug on Firebase side?

According to my email conversation with a member of HN API team it was their mistake and they have resolved it now.
