Per Steffensen commented on SOLR-6625:
--------------------------------------

Sorry I do not have the time to go into details. But from quick reading, and as 
I remember the SOLR-4470 implementation, most/all of what you say sounds 
reasonable.

Please note that SOLR-4470 hasnt been committed to the Apache Solr code-base. I 
provided it long time ago, and just recently [~janhoy] and I updated it to fit 
tip of trunk, and I know Jan intended to try to push it to the code-base. Do 
not know what happened after that.

Please also note that in SOLR-4470 I tried to prepare for additional 
authentication types, but it is hard to make it 100% right when you do not know 
the nature of the actual types being implemented in the future. Essence is that 
{{AuthCredentials}} should carry [information about] the authentications to be 
"used" for the request(s). How to "use" them is an implementation-detail of the 
specific authentication type (implementing {{AbstractAuthMethod}}), and it may 
require a little rearranging of code to implement authentication type #2. 
Basing it on a general callback feature sound like good idea. I believe in 
"never design for the future", but if I didnt at least try to sketch the idea 
in a "framework", there is a big risk than the next authentication type would 
be implemented in a completely different way. I also believe in "separation of 
concerns", so I would really like the "authentication concern" to be handled in 
one single place - {{AuthCredentials}} was my attempt to make such "a place".

> Some of our setups use Solr in a SPNego/kerberos setup (we've done this by 
> adding our own filters to the web.xml).  We have an issue in that SPNego 
> requires a negotiation step, but some HttpSolrServer requests are not 
> repeatable, notably the PUT/POST requests.  So, what happens is, 
> HttpSolrServer sends the requests, the server responds with a negotiation 
> request, and the request fails because the request is not repeatable.  We've 
> modified our code to send a repeatable request beforehand in these cases.
> It would be nicer if HttpSolrServer provided a pre/post callback when it was 
> making an httpclient request.  This would allow administrators to make 
> changes to the request for authentication purposes, and would allow users to 
> make per-request changes to the httpclient calls (i.e. modify httpclient 
> requestconfig to modify the timeout on a per-request basis).
