From: Matthew John Cheetham <mjcheetham@xxxxxxxxxxx> Add the value of the WWW-Authenticate response header to credential requests. Credential helpers that understand and support HTTP authentication and authorization can use this standard header (RFC 2616 Section 14.47 [1]) to generate valid credentials. WWW-Authenticate headers can contain information pertaining to the authority, authentication mechanism, or extra parameters/scopes that are required. The current I/O format for credential helpers only allows for unique names for properties/attributes, so in order to transmit multiple header values (with a specific order) we introduce a new convention whereby a C-style array syntax is used in the property name to denote multiple ordered values for the same property. In this case we send multiple `wwwauth[n]` properties where `n` is a zero-indexed number, reflecting the order the WWW-Authenticate headers appeared in the HTTP response.
