Ah, I see, thank you.  Adding a "WWW-Authenticate" to the test makes it
pass.  It sends a request with no auth, is challenged, and sends a request
with auth.

Is there any way to enable preemptive auth for credentialy in the request
URI, without having to parse them out first in order to set up a
CredentialsProvider?
