I'd just like to add that I don't consider this "normal proxy behaviour". This
proxy is clearly a "transparent" one, and they are not the normal http kind.
Even if fluent and used all over.

Well, my gut feeling is sure, those are just 302s and 401s and curl deals with
them nicely. But...

This seems to imply that curl gets confused by the 302 preceeding the 401. I
would call it a bug, and I don't think it has been fixed in the most recent
release nor CVS.

Any chance you can help us debug/work on this?
