Authentication failure when using with actix-web

Hi,

I tried to use this library with actix-web but I've got some troubles with authentication. I suspect that it's somehow related to the connection pool since it was alright if when I tested with curl, however the moment I fire up a wrk, even with some modest settings, it starts to throw numerous authentication errors.

I've pushed an example to https://github.com/Frederick888/actix-mongodb. TL;DR I used an OneCell to hold a shared client and in controllers I try db.auth() every time.

$ cat wrk.lua
function response(status, headers, body)
   print(body)
end
$ wrk -t 2 -c 4 -d 30s -s ./wrk.lua http://localhost:8080/items
# sometimes successful, but mostly erroneous
database error: Authentication failed.
database error: No SASL session state found

And it turned out if I simply ignore the authentication errors and proceed, there will be much more successful responses, but on the other hand it generates a lot of [{"$err":"not authorized for query on mydb.items","code":13,"ok":0.0}] this time.

Should I actually just instantiate a new client every time upon each request in the controller? Please shed some light on me, thanks.

Hello everyone! We've just released an alpha of an official MongoDB Rust driver; you can read about it here! Because of this, we won't be updating this driver anymore, and the repository will be made read-only as soon as I get finished posting these messages. Thanks for using this driver, and we hope you try out the new one!
