Good things take time :-) Having ECP support decoupled from the
container will make it a lot easier for deployers to use that feature.
As mentioned in Dublin, I think ECP support will become increasingly
important to easier implement non-browser authentication, especially to
some of the larger research communities.

Does this mean that the client (script) has to send the "Authorization:
Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==" header already with the first
request without getting a HTTP 401 from the server?
