[Flask] Add authentication to auto generated URLs

[Gergely Polonkai]

As it’s a plain decorator, you can use

current_app.add_url_rule(
'secret_page_url/', view_func=auth.login_required(view_func),
methods=['POST', ])

Hint: if you need to use a decorator that requires parameters, use
something like this:

a_decorator(decor_arg, decor_arg)(view_func)

You can also nest them:

a_decorator(arg, arg)(auth.login_required(view_func))

Best,
Gergely
