GTlsCertificateFlags is unrelated to HTTP authentication... are you sure
the site isn't expecting you to use TLS client certificate
authentication? (which isn't currently possible with libsoup)

Alternatively, if you're getting a 401 response but the session never
emits ::authenticate, it's possible that the server's response is
syntactically invalid in some way. (Eg, it doesn't include a "realm"
parameter in the WWW-Authenticate line.)
