Yes.

If you can determine when the 401 response is sent, then that's enough.

However, if you can only say "after the POST there was a long delay of
20 seconds before IE closed the connection and opened a new one",
that's not enough to say whether IIS 6.0 transmitted the 401 quickly
or not. It only says how IE reacted, which is not the same thing
because IE might ignore an early 401 until it's finished sending the
request.
