This allows to distinguish, for example, the following three cases:
- The pvedaemon service is not responding (595)
- The pveproxy service is not responding (no error status code)
- The authentication credentials are not correct (401)
Since different combinations of wrong password and/or wrong user all
report the same error message: "authentication failure (401)" this does
not leak login information.
Another consideration is that the code `resp.status` does not match the
HTTP code seen in the API (a failed authentication has a return code 200
from the point of view of the browser) and its information is lost
without this change.
