The reason being that the authenticator is expected to manage authentication. With this fix, it will be possible to use pre-emptive authentication through user set headers, even if an authenticator is set. The expected use case is where the authenticator would manage either proxy or server authentication and the user set headers would manage server authentication if the authenticator is managing proxy (or vice versa).
