IIRC current implementation cannot handle the scenario - where a SOAP
Message comes with an Authorization HTTP header... - which is something we
need to fix...

So, the correct behavior would be - if it is SOAP (expects UT - we applied
UT) we need to return a SOAP fault - or else send the basic auth challenge..
