R. David Murray added the comment:

The commit just made re-engineers the new API to generalize it.  Now we can 
fully support the "MAY preemptively send" part of the rfc, even when doing the 
normal 401 dance for the first request.  This is accomplished through a new 
password manager instead of a new Handler, and by adding support in the 
AbstractBasicAuthHandler for detecting if the passed in password manager 
supports authentication tracking and using it if it does.  This means that the 
proxy handler can also now do prior auth.

If anyone on this issue thinks we screwed this up, please let me know :)
