This change looks surprising for several reasons.
- Why do we even want this? There is no explanation in Bugzilla, and the one I see in Radar isn't fully convincing.
- IPC doesn't come free - at least chromium tries hard to limit the number of messages.
- Doesn't this break default credentials (see ResourceHandle::createNSURLConnection()) - sometimes credentials must be sent preemptively, without waiting for a challenge)?

Please CC Brady and myself when making changes to HTTP authentication.
