[Cppcms-users] Why isn't request const correct?

[Noah R. <rob...@gm...>]

Trying to understand the idioms in CppCms.  It looks like a modern library
except that it doesn't appear to be const correct.  For example in
http::request,

 std::string auth_type();

Does that function really alter the instance in an observable way?
That it's non-const would indicate that it is, but I don't understand
what it would change.
