The only real reason for this that I can think of is that it a fairly crude
way to detect when wrong credentials are used, as then the server will just
send another 401 back.

If a 401 can also mean "re-negotiate" we need a smarter way to detect the
difference between wrong credentials and just start over the handshaking...
