No, in the callback object you were creating. I'm just noting that I added
some state to the SHIRE object so that I could cache some things like
manufacturing the SHIRE location, and we could just add the Apache/IIS
"state" structure your callback was storing to what I had, and it seems like
it's useful to push the two together.

You could just abstract some of the auth type handling so that it can be
stubbed out on IIS, since there's no real equivalent.

Ok.

Yeah, that's roughly similar to the functions I created in the IIS module.
