Greg Mann updated MESOS-4902:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
Adding HTTP authentication to these endpoints is a bit more complicated than is 
 {{/profiler}} and {{/logging}} endpoints are defined at the libprocess level, 
while {{/files}} is defined in code that is shared by the master and agent.

While working on MESOS-4850, it became apparent that since our tests use the 
same instance of libprocess for both master and agent, different default 
authentication realms must be used for master/agent so that HTTP authentication 
can be independently enabled/disabled for each.

We should establish a mechanism for making an endpoint authenticated that 
allows us to:
1) Install an endpoint like {{/files}} with different authentication realms for 
the master and agent
2) Avoid hard-coding a default authentication realm into libprocess, again to 
permit the use of different authentication realms for the master and agent

Another option would be to use a single default authentication realm and always 
enable or disable HTTP authentication for *both* the master and agent in tests. 
However, this wouldn't allow us to test scenarios where HTTP authentication is 
enabled on one but disabled on the other.
