> There is a need for state between client and server to be maintained, this task is to allow it to be maintained against the connection.
>  Uses for this could be authenticate on connection and cache the authentication against the connection.
>  Track generated nonces against the connection so a nonce can only be used on that connection.
>  Cache GSSContext used for negotiation against the connection.
> Notes: -
> An alternative could be session cookies, however this would require all clients to support cookies or some form of URL re-writing to embed the session ID, HTTP keep-alive is standard for HTTP 1.1
> Another alternative could be to identify the address of the client, however this would just be the IP address / host name and port - there are no guarantees that a new connection would not re-use the same port especially if more than one administrator was running on that host.
