nsIHttpAuthManager

This service provides access to cached HTTP authentication
user credentials (domain, username, password) for sites
visited during the current browser session.

This interface exists to provide other HTTP stacks with the
ability to share HTTP authentication credentials with Necko.
This is currently used by the Java plugin (version 1.5 and
higher) to avoid duplicate authentication prompts when the
Java client fetches content from a HTTP site that the user
has already logged into.
