NextRequest auth handling

[stucka]

Additional details

This has been needed for some weeks but was never made into an issue.

NextRequest should handle authentication. I think maybe the way forward is to start the login as a session in requests, then pass that auth info in as an optional flag to latter NextRequest library functions, and from there store as maybe a bln_auth subkey(s) within the metadata. It's possible we may need to track for type of request (POST, GET), request headers and possibly payload.

Need to fold in actual auth data into returned JSON.

Possibly a race condition on auth problems? Consider auth steps with waiting (2*throttle)+2 seconds.

Are headers handled separately from cookies? Could that be part of the problem?
