I thought Kiran gave a good thought. The general SPNEGO negotiation itself 
doesn't involve Kerberos specifics. On the other hand, Kerberos is an important 
mechanism often used in the negotiation, we do need to think about what kinds 
of support is desired, to better support Kerberos deployment and usage covering 
the HTTP/REST/Browser interfaces?  

Marc, would you give your thorough thoughts and details about your requirement? 
We need further discussion here before we dive into the support. Thanks.

Regards,
Kai

Yeah, kinds of so. It would be good if Marc could give more details.

Oracle JRE provides SPNEGO support. I thought it might not hurt if Kerby also 
provides some similar things, in the library level. I'm not sure about this, 
but maybe at least Kerby can encode/decode SPNEGO negotiation messages? Anyway 
HTTP stuffs or whatever transport means shouldn't be involved.

Regards,
Kai

this negotiation happens between HTTP client and HTTP server, kerberos has 
nothing to do with it
