Keith Wall updated QPID-6965:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
Current the HTTP module includes the ability to support a preemptive 
{{Authorization: Basic-Auth <base64>}} authentication.   (This is one where the 
client's request includes the Basic-Auth header providing correctly encoded 
credentials allowing the client's interaction with the Broker to be 
'single-shot', without the need to separately authenticate a session).  This is 
very useful when scripting with tools such as {{curl}}.

This ability should be generalised so that other types of preemptive 
authentication can be supported too.  One example would be a OAUTH's bearer 
authorization header {{Authorization: Bearer <token}}.  See 
[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750#page-5].
