I've seen the async authorization directives but none of them fit the
header mechanism I'm trying to emulate.
authenticateOrRejectWithChallenge() seems to come closest but on
failure I don't want a challenge response, just a rejection.

I see onComplete() takes a future which looks closer to what I want
but how you'd combine an authenticateBasicAsync with two other
Future-based custom authentication mechanisms so that you get a single
result or a rejection is completely unclear to me.

I must say that I'm finding the high level Akka-HTTP API rather
difficult to use, for simple cases it all looks so easy but as soon as
you step outside of that it immediately gets incredibly complicated

Have you seen the complete list of directives?
There's many directives with "Async" that means that they work on Futures.

headerValueByName("X-Auth-Session") { session => complete(s"Session:
$session")

What's missing for the second two is the actual validation of the
user/pass or token.
