Let's give some examples of how Chandler treats URLs during subscribe:

1) http://server/pim/collection/<uuid>?ticket=<ticket>

Chandler subscribes to this collection using whatever rights the
ticket provides; it doesn't take into account any login/password info.

2) http://server/pim/collection/<uuid>

Currently this fails.  You're suggesting that Chandler treat this as
http://server/mc/collection/<uuid> and I think that is reasonable.  If
you would like that please file a bug on me and we'll get that
targetted to the right milestone.

3) http://server/mc/collection/<uuid>?ticket=<ticket>

I don't think we ever expose an /mc/ URL with ticket but Chandler
subscribes to this just fine already.

4) http://server/mc/collection/<uuid>

This already prompts the user for login info (if a matching account is
not found).
