We need to see the results of `curl -v ...`, to know whether the proxy
supports only NTLM authentication, or might also support Basic auth.

The 3-line login you're seeing in Internet Explorer is indeed an NTLM
authentication prompt (Basic auth will always be a two-line login screen),
but IE will choose to use NTLM authentication if it's available, without
giving you any visual indication that Basic auth is also supported.
