@janl ok, that I have to ask what problem you're trying to solve. What is
the use case. Because I don't see any difference between Proxy Auth.
In both cases we have some middle ware. In both cases it have super
privileges to run auth for any user. In both cases this used to run some
requests in the name of some other user. And in both cases you know the user
name you want for delegate the auth. The difference is in with what object you
runs this delegated auth: with special headers or with a cookie.
