That is useful to know. When I get back to working on the code (won't be
for some time) I'll think about inventing an option to turn on that
behaviour.

This is all I know about LOGIN:
1. Client side of authentication protocol exchange
The client expects the server to issue a challenge. The client then
responds with the authorization identity. The client then expects
the server to issue a second challenge. The client then responds
with the authorization authenticator. The contents of both challenges
are ignored.
This completes the client-side LOGIN authentication.
2. Server side of authentication protocol exchange
The server issues a string which SHOULD be "User Name" in challenge,
and receives a client response. This response is recorded as the
authorization identity. The server then issues a string which SHOULD
be "Password" in challenge, and receives a client response. This
response is recorded as the authorization authenticator. The server
must verify that the authorization authenticator permits login as the
authorization identity.
