           Summary: [Curl] Http response code 401 (Authentication
                    required) is not handled.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: peavo at outlook.com


The current Curl implementation does not handle a 401 response.
When receiving http code 401, we need to give a notification that authorization is required, by calling the appropriate notification method.
This gives a WebKit client the possibility to present a password dialog to the user.
In response to this, we should provide Curl with the given username and password, so another request can be sent with the given credentials.
