Absolutely agreed. That's why I called it a hack, as it was meant purely
to demonstrate how a more proper fix could be instrumented.

Yeah, that sounds right.

Any reason you init this with GSS-Negotiate and not just Negotiate? The
difference observed here that with GSS-Negotiate the service name is
KHTTP_at_server and with Negotiate, it's HTTP_at_server. The latter is correct
for my usage.

But otherwise, yes this solution corrects the problem, indeed.

I've actually not yet understood the subtle difference between Negotiate
and GSS-Negotiate TBH. There does seem to be one, yet there is only a
single CURLAUTH_* definition (and a single command line option to request
it) covering both of them, even though there does seem to be a subtle
difference between how the two operate.
