Such a fix would be welcome, and I can certainly help with it. There used to be documentation of the HTTP system including authorization. It seems to have gotten lost...

Authorization support [Auth.html.txt](https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-java/files/12590728/Auth.html.txt) 2. httpservices documentation [httpservices.html.txt](https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-java/files/12590732/httpservices.html.txt)

Did you by any chance try the filter tests with 1.12? That is a likely source of problems.
