/**
 * An {@link org.apache.http.client.AuthenticationStrategy} implementation that does <em>not</em> perform
 * any special handling if authentication fails.
 * The default handler in Apache HTTP client mimics standard browser behaviour of clearing authentication
 * credentials if it receives a 401 response from the server. While this can be useful for browser, it is
 * rarely the desired behaviour with the Elasticsearch REST API.
 * If the code using the REST client has configured credentials for the REST API, then we can and should
 * assume that this is intentional, and those credentials represent the best possible authentication
 * mechanism to the Elasticsearch node.
 * If we receive a 401 status, a probably cause is that the authentication mechanism in place was unable
 * to perform the requisite password checks (the node has not yet recovered its state, or an external
 * authentication provider was unavailable).
 * If this occurs, then the desired behaviour is for the Rest client to retry with the same credentials
 * (rather than trying with no credentials, or expecting the calling code to provide alternate credentials).
