A ``GlobusAuthorizer`` is a very simple object which generates valid
Authorization headers.
It may also have handling for responses that indicate that it has provided
an invalid Authorization header.

"""
This operation should be called if a request is made with an
Authorization header generated by this object which returns a 401
(HTTP Unauthorized).
If the ``GlobusAuthorizer`` thinks that it can take some action to
remedy this, it should update its state and return ``True``.
If the Authorizer cannot do anything in the event of a 401, this *may*
update state, but importantly returns ``False``.
By default, this always returns ``False`` and takes no other action.
