I agree completely but I've been wondering how far to take this.  The WebKitAuthenticationDialog and WebKitAuthenticationWidget currently use the AuthenticationChallengeProxy directly, should it be refactored to use the public API of WebKitAuthenticationRequest? Perhaps then I could remove the private function webkitAuthenticationRequestGetAuthenticationChallenge() which would be substituted by _get_realm(), _get_host(), _get_port()?
