See also http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110705, which explains why this can cause problems with Mozilla.  Mozilla doesn't currently have the behavior in that bug (that I can see today, at least), but it has from time to time.

If you try to invoke a ZClass constructor (i.e.

GET /WfTest/manage_addProduct/WorkflowTest/WorkflowItem_factory/WorkflowItem_add?id=w00t HTTP/1.1

) without sending an Authorization header, there seems to be something in guarded_getitem that NameErrors instead of Unauthorizes.

Traceback:

This is a problem because 503 is being returned to the browser instead of 401, and authorization is not prompted for.
