That's expected and normal. libcurl then picks the "best" auth type it knows
(among those that the server says it allows) and connects again.

So the server only rejects libcurl if a single CONNECT is made? Or is there a
difference between the BASIC-at-once request and the
BASIC-after-the-prope-connect request?

What libcurl version is this on what platform?

That seems to be a Curl_read() that returns error so it looks like the proxy
is really not liking it. (around lib/http.c:1479 in my current dev code)
