HttpServletRequest.getAuthType() always returns null

           Summary: HttpServletRequest.getAuthType() always returns null
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.25
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Servlet & JSP API
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: tague@minion.net


The HttpServletRequest.getAuthType() method always returns a null when SSL is
used even if Client Auth is enabled and working.  According to the documentation
the constant HttpServletRequest.CLIENT_CERT_AUTH should be returned.

The actual Client Auth functionality works correctly only the authentication
mechanism is not correctly reported to the Servlet through the getAuthType API.
