And in what way does the KeepAlive option alter the headers the proxy
provides? And since you use NTLM, it doesn't make sense. NTLM authenticates
connections, so curl must keep the connection and do at least a couple of
requests only to get the actual content.

It means that if you set CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT you can still use
CURLAUTH_NTLM. In previous versions you couldn't use NTLM if you had
CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT set true.
