The '/sys/wrapping/unwrap' endpoint unwraps a wrapped response
---
# /sys/wrapping/unwrap
## POST
<dl>
<dt>Description</dt>
<dd>
Returns the original response inside the given wrapping token. Unlike
simply reading `cubbyhole/response` (which is deprecated), this endpoint
provides additional validation checks on the token, returns the original
value on the wire rather than a JSON string representation of it, and
ensures that the response is properly audit-logged.<br/><br/>This endpoint
can be used by using a wrapping token as the client token in the API call,
in which case the `token` parameter is not required; or, a different token
with permissions to access this endpoint can make the call and pass in the
wrapping token in the `token` parameter. Do _not_ use the wrapping token in
both locations; this will cause the wrapping token to be revoked but the
value to be unable to be looked up, as it will basically be a double-use of
the token!
