Security worries
* Should we check for PIs even if HTTP headers has said that access is granted? It'll always be possible to circumvent those headers using .mimetypeOverride which'll make us not treat the doc as XML and thus we won't even look for PIs. Alternatively we could ignore the .mimetypeOverride when checking for PIs but that might be a problem with poorly configured servers (which is the whole reason for .mimetypeOverride)
 
* We should make sure to make it impossible to set authentication headers since that would make it easier for a site to attempt (distributed) brute force hacking against authenticated servers. Note though that such hacking would be significantly complicated by the fact that the server must be password protected but still have files that it grants access to a 3rd party server, which doesn't really make a lot of sense.
