 * the user gets the username/password wrong), have the callback
 * function use 'attempt' value as the function return value. */

 * are ignored and may be NULL.
 *
 * These functions may be called multiple times per session to
 * register callbacks for different protocols.  If the server presents
 * more than one protocol in an auth challenge, the following
 * algorithm will be used to determine which callback is used:
 *
 * - iterate over the registered callbacks in the order registered
 * - for each each callback, iterate over the known set of protocols
 *   in order of algorithm strength (strongest first).
 * - if the protocol mask for that callback matches the protocol,
 *   attempt authentication using this protocol.

 * ne_add_proxy_auth are used for a given session, the caller must
 * ensure that the order in which those calls are made reflects the
 * precedence of protocols to be used. */
