Summary: Fetching https, curl returns code 56 on 407 from proxy

Initial Comment:
Proxy Details : MS ISA with NTLM and Baisc
Authentication mechanisms enabled.

libcURL version : 7.15.5

When fetching an https resource from a proxy that
requires authentication curl returns error CURLcode
56 (CURLE_RECV_ERROR) when the proxy responds with
a 407 (proxy authentication required).

This is the problematic as curl doesn't provide the
407 header making it impossible to extract the
challenge information necessary (auth method &
realm) to re-fetch. It seems
that curl should return CURLE_OK and then provide the
407 header and body which would be consistent with
cURLs behavior given an http url.
