Pity. The client was certainly used some undocumented (and unintended)
behavior, I'm wondering how many people noticed that loophole and are
going to be affected.

As far as I understand from your comments there are workarounds that use
the form based authentication, right?
That is not really a supported path either, but at least it's one that
is supposed
to create a session, while restful services should be stateless.

Other options?
