For https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-283, how do you
propose that would work?

In the BasicHttpAuthenticationFilter, if the Subject is not
authenticated, the BASIC challenge is sent as a response and the
Filter chain is not allowed to continue.

How would the BasicHttpAuthenticationFilter (or a variant of it) know
to let the request pass through to a form instead of send the
challenge?

Regards,

Les
