It would be nice to have a method that implementors of AbstractProxyServlet can utilize to handle any sort of proxy authentication mechanisms.

This step should logically occur before the creation of the HttpClient for the remote request.

It might make sense to even have it before the rewriteTarget() as well.

There could be 2 paths out.

Normal processing (default behavior) - the processing continues like normal. This is the behavior the implementors use to indicate that the authentication is valid.

Challenge response to browser - this means that the implementation has sent a challenge back to the browser, and no more processing of the Proxy request by the AbstractProxyServlet should continue.
