I don't see why the presence of the http_proxy environment variable is
not enough of a trigger to begin authentication. If --proxy-negotiate is
set that is even more evidence and then the kerberos ticket cache for the
user should be used (and populated by doing an authentication if not
present yet).

This should not be necessary, per above.

Yeah, given that I have already been in the source and found out why it's
failing I was hoping somebody familiar with this code could take my
description and either verify what I am seeing and doing is correct or
identify a bug.

Cheers, and thanx for all your help so far.
