Description
Currently each publish/subscribe request has to go through the HTTP ACL layer. Even with caching enabled there's a big performance hit when there are a lot of different publish or subscribe topics for each client. It would be very helpful to have an alternative mode where auth request returns a static ACL list in JSON format for a given client session.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing authentication and HTTP ACL request handlers, then trace how client sessions and ACL caching are represented. Define the mode's configuration and response shape, and verify that a session can receive a static JSON ACL list without per-topic HTTP ACL requests.
