Problem/Motivation

Currently any user who is already logged in will not pass authentication, even if valid basic-auth login credentials are provided.

Proposed resolution

We could either:

Log the existing user out and log them in as the account specified.
-or-
Document that this module only supports unauthenticated users and suggest also using the Services session-based authentication in combination.

I'm basing this on the way services module's built-in authentication works, which is to just ignore the existing user session and to log-in the successfully authenticated user.
