   It would be good to have this fix, it is really unexpected that you are required to submit the same auth details twice (as a header and in the body) to get a session cookie when `require_valid_user=true`.
   
   Given https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1550 - with this change the replicator would also stop falling back to Basic auth when `require_valid_user=true`. That would be beneficial in cases where the PBKDF2 iterations are configured strongly and the session cookie has performance advantages over checking the basic creds on each request.
