Re: auth_param ntlm keep_alive interaction with new http/1.1 keepalive behaviour

Amos,

As I understand it, keep-alive off is for this exchange:

> GET
< 407 NTLM PC:Close
***** (reconnect)
> GET NTLM hash
< 407 NTLM hash
> GET NTLM authdetails

But the situation I am experiencing is after a rejected authentication attempt.
I.e. here:

> GET
< 407 NTLM PC:Close
(reconnect)
> GET NTLM hash
< 407 NTLM hash
> GET NTLM authdetails
< 407 NTLM
****** (reconnect here is required to avoid multiple auth prompts)
> GET NTLM hash
< 407 NTLM hash
> GET NTLM authdetails

I have had this problem reported with both MSIE and Firefox. Rigerous testing
with tcpdumps has only been performed with firefox.
