Description

Currently, AuthenticationHandlers can only be registered by path. It would be useful to be able to register them with additional attributes, in particular hostname, to enable different authentication mechanisms for different virtual hosts. It may also be useful to indicate a priority, for ordering purposes when 2 or more handlers are registered for the same set of attributes (path, hostname etc).
