There is a misunderstanding: You missed the ',' which seperates the "optional user authentication" from the (mandatory) "check if data is valid". I mentioned the "check if data is valid" because for network accessible services there must be more such checks. For example to avoid denial of service problems by receiving too much or too often valid data or by receiving only half of a valid data stream and the server may wait infinitely for the rest. Such cases could happen without any bad intention (i.e. in a trusted network where the source IP and the source user are accepted) e.g. when too many remote systems access at the same time or when a remote system crashes. Of course such sophisticated checks would be nice to have even on localhost but here it is much less critical when the users on a particular system are overloading their "own" system.
