Whenever a client attempts to load a page protected by HTTP
authentication, credentials will need to be provided to authorize access.
To allow the client to decide how it wishes to handle authentication,
WebKit will fire a #WebKitWebView::authenticate signal with a
WebKitAuthenticationRequest object to provide client side
authentication support. Credentials are exposed through the
#WebKitCredential object.
In case the client application does not wish
to handle this signal WebKit will provide a default handler. To handle
authentication asynchronously, simply increase the reference count of the
WebKitAuthenticationRequest object.
