So, further research has led me to try connecting to the 'authenticate'
signal of the session, but this never gets triggered. So, I figured that
maybe I need to explicitly enable authentication, but the functions to
do this don't work. The error I get is:

        (gnome-shell:1470): libsoup-WARNING **: soup-session.c:887:
        invalid property id 18 for "add-feature-by-type" of type
        'GParamGType' in 'SoupSession'
        (gnome-shell:1470): Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: TypeError:
        httpSession.add_feature_by_type is not a function

With the code:

        const httpSession = new Soup.Session();
        httpSession.add_feature_by_type(Soup.TYPE_AUTH_BASIC);

Anybody have any ideas at all?
