* nsIHttpChannelAuthProvider
*
* This interface is intended for providing authentication for http-style
* channels, like nsIHttpChannel and nsIWebSocket, which implement the
* nsIHttpAuthenticableChannel interface.
*
* When requesting pages AddAuthorizationHeaders MUST be called
* in order to get the http cached headers credentials. When the request is
* unsuccessful because of receiving either a 401 or 407 http response code
* ProcessAuthentication MUST be called and the page MUST be requested again
* with the new credentials that the user has provided. After a successful
* request, checkForSuperfluousAuth MAY be called, and disconnect MUST be
* called.
