- using WebKit1 API

Prior to WebKitGTK 2.0 we could replace the default WebKitGTK soup authentication prompter by connecting our "authenticate" signal handler before it (so that we would be invoked first), and then stopping the emission of the signal in our handler (so that the default prompter would not subsequently be shown).

However as of 2.0.x, WebKitGTK's default authentication prompter is always shown after ours, even if our prompter has already performed the authentication (ie.- stopping the emission of the "authenticate" signal is no longer effective).
