Check the Authorization header. If it does not contain a valid
authentication, you just have to send a 401 response code and include a
WWW-Authenticate header field describing the authentication:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec17.html#bib43
this will tell the browser to ask a username/password.

If the Authorization header contains a valid authentication, 
then proceed as normal.
