* in order to get the http cached headers credentials. When the request is
* unsuccessful because of receiving either a 401 or 407 http response code
* ProcessAuthentication MUST be called and the page MUST be requested again
* with the new credentials that the user has provided. After a successful
* request, checkForSuperfluousAuth MAY be called, and disconnect MUST be
* called.
