It is also worth noticing that the HTTP specifications only allows for a
single active authentication realm per URI, and that only a single
authenitcation scheme can be used at a time.. If there is multiple
challenges of the same scheme but with different reamls then the client is
free to pick one (and can not pick more than one).
