Hello Daniel,

Thanks for reading/commenting.

> 1. RFC2616 is dead, refer to RFC 723X specs instead

*Oops* -- will fix that.

Fair enough, will do that.

> 3. The mandatory 403 when not authenticated seems unorthodox. Regular
> HTTP auth returns 401 (or 407 for proxy) when not authenticated.

Indeed.  I was confused by the required inclusion of a challenge, but
didn't know the client recognised a repeat.  Will fix.

Agreed, what I said is indeed browser behaviour.


Good criticism, thanks!  I will fix this in the next one up.
