The case that I had in mind is when there is a 401 (http authenication required) but the user should be prompted for repository credentials instead of http authentication credentials. The basic case is that the http auth and repository credentials should be kept in sync.
I have added a new property "httpAuthenticationType" to CommonHttpClient that allows to configure the authentication type that is used to retrieve credentials from the location. If you set that to AuthentictaionType.REPOSITORY repository credentials will be used for HTTP auth.
