This is very clearly a libcurl problem, and even one I've got a bug report and
initial patches for, but that never was completed nor incorporated...

This is what confuses libcurl. In the middle of the CONNECT authentication,
there's a Content-Length: and thus a response-body being returned by the
proxy, and the CONNECT-code in libcurl is not written to properly deal with
this.

The problem is located in curl/lib/http.c:Curl_ConnectHTTPProxyTunnel()...
