Used with the 401 (Unauthorized) response code. It
specifies the authorization scheme and realm of authorization required
from a client at the requested URI. Many different authorization realms
can exist on a server. A common authorization scheme is BASIC, which
requires a username and password. For example:
WWW-Authenticate: BASIC realm="Admin"
When returned to the client, this header indicates that the BASIC
type of authorization data in the appropriate realm should be returned in
the client’s Authorization header.
