More info:

In the Curl_http_auth_act routine, 'perhapsrewind' is called if the request
isn't either a POST or a HEAD and if pickhost or pickproxy is true (in this case,
pickproxy is true). 'perhapsrewind' sets the conn's rewindaftersend to be true,
even though there is nothing to be sent and thus curl just loops, sending nothing
and receiving nothing.

rewindwaftersend gets set to true because of this peculiar if:

http.c(258):
     if((data->state.authproxy.picked == CURLAUTH_NTLM) ||
        (data->state.authhost.picked == CURLAUTH_NTLM)) {
       if(((expectsend - bytessent) < 2000) ||
          (conn->ntlm.state != NTLMSTATE_NONE)) {
         /* The NTLM-negotiation has started *OR* there is just a little (<2K)
            data left to send, keep on sending. */

         /* rewind data when completely done sending! */
         if(!conn->bits.authneg)
           conn->bits.rewindaftersend = TRUE;

         return CURLE_OK;
       }

And yes, authproxy.picked == CURLAUTH_NTLM. And expectsend == -1, because it never
gets changed from its initial setting (not sure if the HTTPREQ_POST should be picking
up a postfieldsize or not).

I changed the if inside the CURLAUTH_NTLM if to check for a -1 expectsend, and it gets
a little further. But now it is looping because after it resends with the correct NTLM
proxy info, it gets a 401, but still thinks it is still negotiating the proxy, and not
now negotiating the http, so it keeps re-authing the proxy. I changed the if to be:

       if(((expectsend != -1) && (expectsend - bytessent) < 2000) ||
          (conn->ntlm.state != NTLMSTATE_NONE)) {
