* The Http Service calls this method prior to servicing the specified

* normal manner or an error is returned.
*
*
* If the request requires authentication and the Authorization header in
* the request is missing or not acceptable, then this method should set the
* WWW-Authenticate header in the response object, set the status in the
* response object to Unauthorized(401) and return {@code false}. See
* also RFC 2617: HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access
* Authentication (available at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt).
*
*
* If the request requires a secure connection and the {@code getScheme}
* method in the request does not return 'https' or some other acceptable
* secure protocol, then this method should set the status in the response
* object to Forbidden(403) and return {@code false}.
*
*
* When this method returns {@code false}, the Http Service will send
* the response back to the client, thereby completing the request. When
* this method returns {@code true}, the Http Service will proceed with
* servicing the request.
*
*
* If the specified request has been authenticated, this method must set the
* {@link #AUTHENTICATION_TYPE} request attribute to the type of
* authentication used, and the {@link #REMOTE_USER} request attribute to
* the remote user (request attributes are set using the
* {@code setAttribute} method on the request). If this method does not
* perform any authentication, it must not set these attributes.
*
*
* If the authenticated user is also authorized to access certain resources,
* this method must set the {@link #AUTHORIZATION} request attribute to the
* {@code Authorization} object obtained from the
* {@code org.osgi.service.useradmin.UserAdmin} service.
*
*
* The servlet responsible for servicing the specified request determines
* the authentication type and remote user by calling the
* {@code getAuthType} and {@code getRemoteUser} methods,
* respectively, on the request.
*
* @param request the HTTP request
* @param response the HTTP response
* @return {@code true} if the request should be serviced, {@code false}
* if the request should not be serviced and Http Service will send
* the response back to the client.
* @throws java.io.IOException may be thrown by this method. If this
* occurs, the Http Service will terminate the request and close
* the socket.
