Hi [~anu], does {{Simple}} authentication scheme correspond to HTTP Basic Authentication? Or is the Authorization header just going to be one user name per header entry as the code seems to indicate? The question is likely trivial - I am not familiar with HTTP authentication.

Also is it just me or is it confusing that the authentication header is called _Authorization_? :-)
