[PATCH 0/2] http: allow multi-pass authentication

This patch series applies on top of master. It enables fetching and pushing over http with the most suitable authentication scheme chosen by curl when the http.authAny or GIT_HTTP_AUTH_ANY is set.

Authorization headers can also be preserved across requests, with at least 1 curl session being preserved by default. This is especially useful for the smart http protocol, where it is hard to rewind and re- send a request.

Nicholas, Martin's patch should lead to similar functionality as your patch (dated Oct 3rd) would. However, unlike your patch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH is set even if the user name is not specified explicitly in the remote url, since it's conditional on http.c::user_name being set.

I've tested this with Digest, and I believe this should work with NTLM too.

gsky, could you try this out with NTLM?
