[Xiuping Hu] We have apache server that use libcurl to do the proxy
HTTP.
If we set Apache KeepAlive On, that means reuse connection, we get
hanging
Randomly. If we set KeepAlive Off, that means use fresh connection for
each request, every thing works fine.

I notice that in 7.11.1 change log, there is one line:

CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT and CURLAUTH_NTLM now work when set together

What does this mean? If this means if we use NTLM, we need to use fresh
connection for each request? No reuse the connection?
