it's not about  the client, but about the server. If the server just 
receives a regular GET request how should it be able to out figure
what kind of authentication the client supports. If you can answer me 
this question then I am happy to remove it, but we have discussed
this several times and nobody had an answer.

One must be aware that a server can receive GET requests from all kind 
of clients ...

Thanks
