With that in mind, one of the core problems of HTTP is that its authentication mechanisms assumes a single identity (the one of the user, or a server) validated by the request handler.

鉴于此，HTTP的核心问题之一就是，HTTP的认证机制会假定一个由请求处理器验证的单一身份(一个用户或一台服务器)。

We are going to solve this by requiring the user to have the client authenticate with HTTP authentication.

我们将要求用户通过HTTP认证进行客户认证来解决该问题。

This mechanism functions almost identically to an HTTP Basic Authentication header by providing a user name and password with every request.

这种机制的功能与HTTP Basic authentication头几乎一样，它也是对每个请求都提供用户名和密码。
