Right. You can't "pre-emptively" authenticate a message. You have to
wait until the "authenticate" signal is emitted by the SoupSession, and
that will include a SoupAuth argument, and you call
soup_auth_authenticate() on that, and libsoup will then re-send the
message for you with authentication. (And all further requests to the
same auth domain will automatically be authenticated for you.)
