About
The HTTP 401 Unauthorized client error response status code
indicates that a request was not successful because it lacks valid
authentication credentials for the requested resource; this status
code is sent with an HTTP WWW-Authenticate response header that
contains information on the authentication scheme the server expects
the client to include to make the request successfully1.
