[PATCH 0/2] http: allow multi-pass authentication

[Tay Ray Chuan <rctay89@gmail.com>]

This patch series applies on top of master. It enables fetching and
pushing over http with the most suitable authentication scheme chosen
by curl when the http.authAny or GIT_HTTP_AUTH_ANY is set.

Authorization headers can also be preserved across requests, with at
least 1 curl session being preserved by default. This is especially
useful for the smart http protocol, where it is hard to rewind and re-
send a request.

Nicholas, Martin's patch should lead to similar functionality as your
patch (dated Oct 3rd) would. However, unlike your patch,
CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH is set even if the user name is not specified
explicitly in the remote url, since it's conditional on
http.c::user_name being set.

I've tested this with Digest, and I believe this should work with NTLM
too.

gsky, could you try this out with NTLM?
