A couple of typos.
Also, can you point me to a section in the OpenAPI or Swagger spec that talks about empty security definitions?

Thanks for fixing my typos. I squashed them into my commit.

An empty security definition is not explicitly defined within the OpenAPI specification. But according to a comment in the OpenAPI-Secification Repo it should be possible.

i also found support within the go server library as of this discussion.

It would be great to see this feature within connexion, because there are a lot of use cases for optional auth. E.g. providing demo data for unauthenticated users or provide publicly available data (e.g. OpenData) without authorization and protected data via the same API endpoint.
