## What it is
An AngularJS module that installs an $http interceptor to buffer requests failing with HTTP 401 and broadcast login-required events, plus an authService to retry or cancel buffered requests after login. It also handles HTTP 403 responses with an auth-forbidden event.

## Use cases
- show a login dialog when an API call returns 401 without redirecting
- retry buffered HTTP requests after the user logs in
- handle 403 forbidden responses with a custom event
- skip auth interception for specific requests like the login endpoint
- cancel pending requests when a session is invalidated

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy AngularJS 1.x app needing 401 buffering and login-event handling

## When to avoid
- you use modern Angular (2+) or any other framework
- starting a new project, since the library has not been updated since 2017

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: auth, middleware, http-client
- domain: web-development, frontend, security
- platform: browser
- tags: angularjs, http-interceptor, 401-handling, login-flow, bower, nodejs
