Buggy source:

 * Start the authentication process. This packages up the request that led to authentication being required, and then invokes the site-specific authentication method. If it returns true, the user was authenticated without any redirection (e.g. by an X.509 certificate or other implicit method) so the process that called this can continue and send its own response. A "false" result means this method has sent its own redirect.
