[curl:bugs] #1302 HTTP Auth Negotiate sends Kerberos token instead of SPNEGO token

From: Daniel Stenberg <bagder_at_users.sf.net>

Sorry, this is an area I'm not very knowledgeable in. Can you please provide a patch against the curl code that you think fixes the problem for us or at least improve things?

** [bugs:#1302] HTTP Auth Negotiate sends Kerberos token instead of SPNEGO token**

When a server challenges a client with 'WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate', it expects a SPNEGO token. Unfortunately, curl needs to be compiled with fbopenssl for this. If you compile with GSS-API only it generates a Kerberos 5 token in lib/curl_gssapi.c line 64, NO_OID. This makes the implemenation select a default mech (namely KRB 5).
For HTTP this can be easily patched with something like this: http://code.google.com/p/serf/issues/attachmentText?id=89&aid=890000000&name=serf-spnego.patch&token=_HwqdhFej2jHi5_6V0XTh311VPM%3A1351042419228
My locally patched version works as desired. The function Curl_gss_init_sec_context is used in several spots, so if someone really needs Kerberos instead of SPNEGO another argument for passing the OID is necessary (FTP, SOCKS). With that change, fbopenssl is redundant and can be completely removed.
If not a wrapped SPNEGO token is send, an acceptor can react with:
GSSException: No credential found for: 1.2.840.113554.1.2.2 usage: Accept
        at sun.security.jgss.GSSCredentialImpl.getElement(GSSCredentialImpl.java:577)
        at sun.security.jgss.GSSContextImpl.acceptSecContext(GSSContextImpl.java:317)
        at sun.security.jgss.GSSContextImpl.acceptSecContext(GSSContextImpl.java:285)
I have reported the very same issue with Subversion and libserf: http://code.google.com/p/serf/issues/detail?id=89
The SSPI version does not suffer from this because "Negotiate" is passed to AcquireCredentialsHandle.
