> From BUG-4308
> In general the only standard way to provide credentials for a REST API call 
> is via basic auth.  This is inherently insecure.  The gateway should at least 
> optionally refuse to challenge over HTTP but more ideally would redirect to 
> an HTTPS endpoint and challenge for credentials.
