Right, it doesn't send any arguments in the _first_ request but the first
request won't be accepted anyway since it isn't authenticated so the server
would discard the data anyway.

So this isn't really a bug but by design.

I know this causes problems at times, but there really isn't any really good
solutions to this. I would really really not like to unconditionally send the
entire contents in the first post as well since if you make a big POST over
NTLM that is potentially a very big loss.

Doesn't --proxy-anyauth work better for you to let curl pick the auth by
itself after probing the server? As then curl will first try unauthenticated
which _will_ send the data in the first request...
