-------------------------------------
I think that this is an awesome idea. Big +1 from me.
> Create generic HttpAuthenticationFilter supporting multiple HTTP
> authentication schemes

> Key: SHIRO-414
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-414
> Project: Shiro
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Authentication (log-in), Web
> Reporter: Les Hazlewood
> Fix For: 1.3.0
>
>
> The BasicHttpAuthentication filter assumes HTTP's 'Basic' authentication
> scheme. But HTTP Authentication can support multiple schemes - instead of
> creating a filter per scheme, like we assume today, it probably makes sense
> to have a single filter that can support multiple schemes.
> This issue is to create a general HttpAuthenticationFilter that allows one or
> more pluggable Schemes. Each Scheme should be able to resolve an
> authentication token based on the {{Authorization}} header value.
> Existing authc filters (e.g. BasicHttpAuthenticationFilter) can leverage this
> new concept if necessary - they would just be a filter that comes
> pre-configured with a single scheme.
