Note that David's test logs showed that his IE session used Negotiate
authentication all the time. While enlightening, it isn't exactly the case we
were discussing.

However, since it sends the file twice and doesn't forcibly close the
connection, I can't see why NTLM wouldn't work fine with this as well.

Sending the data twice is just so... disturbing! (and it introduces API
problems to libcurl)
