 * The GData protocol is based on the widly know REST approach and therefor
 * client authentication will mostly be provided via a REST interface.
 * <p>
 * This interface describes internally used authentication methods to be
 * implemented by http based authenticator implementations. The GData Server
 * basically has 2 different REST interfaces need authentication. One is for
 * altering feed entries and the other for administration actions.
 * </p>
 * <p>The interface altering entries work with {@link com.google.gdata.client.Service.GDataRequest} object created by the handler and passed to the {@link org.apache.lucene.gdata.server.Service} instance.
 * Administration interfaces use the plain {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest} inside the handler.
 * For each type of interface a authentication type a method has to be provided by implementing classes.</p>
