Description

Prerequisites

  • I have written a descriptive issue title
  • I have searched existing issues to ensure the feature has not already been requested

🚀 Feature Proposal

I suggest to introduce the ability to customise the status code for failed authentication requests

Motivation

A follow-up issue to #164. To support using Proxy-Authenticate in a manner that is compliant to the http standard it is necessary to use the 407 status code in the error response. See

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/Proxy-Authenticate

Example

options = {
    authenticate: { realm: "My Realm", header: "Proxy-Authorization", failureStatusCode: 407 }
}
