As I understand it you are trying to "just" set some request headers,
right? To load a page before a page is NOT what you are not want nor
should do in any apps.

You problem can be solved best as an Action.
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/concepts/actions.html

Use the action from
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/concepts/actions.html#Creating+the
+Action as basis and add your code there. The part you need is setting
the request headers and if auth fails the action should return null
otherwise a empty map (not null !!!).

Then in your pub sitemap it would be something like:
<map:match pattern="**">
  <map:act type="AuthAction">
    <map:generate src="{1}"/>
    <map:serialize/>
  </map:act>
   <map:generate src="SomeErrorPage"/>
   <map:serialize/>
</map:match>

If you return an empty map (not null) the code inside the action is used
and if you return null the other part.

In any case I personally would implement this with Apache http and the
mod_auth (and a like).
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_auth.html
