# CFHTTPAuthenticationRequiresOrderedRequests(_:)

Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether authentication requests should be made one at a time.

```
func CFHTTPAuthenticationRequiresOrderedRequests(_ auth: CFHTTPAuthentication) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

`auth`

The CFHTTPAuthentication object to examine.

## Return Value

`TRUE` if `auth` requires ordered requests, otherwise `FALSE`.

## Discussion

Some authentication methods require that future requests must be performed in an ordered manner. If this function returns `TRUE`, clients can improve their chances of authenticating successfully by issuing requests one at a time as responses come back from the server.
