Hi all,

I've reworked the http-auth to handle multiple Authentication headers being
returned from the server.

Didn't it work that way before? The http library should join
together multiple headers with a comma, and http.parse_www_authenticate
should know how to deal with that. Manually parsing answer.rawheader
seems wrong--http.parse_header does that already, including some tricky
cases.

I tested locally against a dummy server offering Basic and Digest and it
worked before your patch. What did you run into that caused you to have
to change it?

ncat -l 8080 --sh-exec 'cat auth.http' -k
