AUTH:author_type()

Gets the authentication behavior type. This command returns the type as an integer.

There are two types:

• 0 — AUTHOR_401

• 1 — AUTHOR_ALWAYS

Both types are used for HTTP basic Auth relay to describe the behavior when relaying. The authentication behavior type determines whether to send the HTTP authentication header after encountering a 401, or to send the HTTP authentication header regardless of encountering a 401.
