The previous auth, as in *the existing* auth is reused as in the header is set
when you have the same credentials and do another transfer. But the server
might retrigger "negotiation" in several of the auths (Digest, Negotiate, NTLM
etc) and then curl might get a 401/407 and then send an updated auth header.
For NTLM, it is used to authenticate the connection so it is different.
When you ask for auth to begin with and you allow more than one method, curl
will need at least one roundtrip to first get to know which auth methods that
the server accepts.
