that would jive with my experience. squid must have a very short internal
timeout that it waits before sending 407 response, and if libcurl gets the
next packet there first, then squid just accepts the entire post body. if
not, it sends the 407 and the FIN, which libcurl fails to handle ATM.

no problem. first thing on monday. i may need some guidance once i am
looking at the code, though.

thanks for your help, and the great software.
