AuthSchemas.SPNEGO = "negotiate"?
AuthSchemas.SPNEGO = "negotiate"
is lowercase?
In http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4559.txt it is upper case
Likely it does not matter, but is this intentional?

Hi Ryan
This is most like done for compatibility reasons or no reason at all.
The RFC, however, has this passage:
---
The Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP) auth-scheme of
"negotiate" is defined here;
---
which seems suggest that there may be different interpretations. At the
same time AuthSchemas#SPNEGO is just a constant. We could change its
value in a feature release.
