No it only returns a grid=agni, it does not return the required full 
url. It looks up the returned grid name in the list that is hard coded 
in llviewernetwork.cpp. I cannot see any point for this hardcoding. It 
might just as well return the full url for the next xmlrpc auth stage. 
There is a provision after the xmlrpc request to have an indeterminate 
state that can then rewrite the loginuri to another location but not at 
the web auth stage.
