NTLM authentication is connection-oriented (which is by
itself a violation of the most sacred HTTP standards).
Every time a new TCP connection is made to the server, a
new authentication is performed. That operation involves
2 407/denied responses before the user's credentials can
be obtained.

It's brain-dead, but that's the way it is.
