That is how HTTP works; first the request is sent anonymously, then if
it is met with a 401 reponse it re-requests the resource with auth
headers.  Sometimes browsers will send auth headers with the first
request for all requests beneath a similar resource path, but that is
not mandatory and if done blindly could lead to credential leaks.
