Motivation and Context
When a
401 Unauthorized
error is returned from a server, theWWW-Authenticate
header should be included in the response, advertising the HTTP authentication methods (or challenges) that might be used to gain access.By adding this header name to the Access-Control-Expose-Headers header in the server response, it should tell the browser to expose that header to scripts, so that the client can extract the authentication method or challenge and react appropriately.
How Has This Been Tested?
Not yet. Looking for an MCP server that returns WWW-Authenticate header on 401.
