Thanks Kevin,

Or maybe, since the first message from the server contains "Microsoft", a
flag could be added to handle that specific case.

My problem arises from the fact that I'm using libcurl through the easy API,
so I don't have access to raw reply codes and messages that could help me
sort this out in a neat way.
