I'm hijacking this thread slightly, but I'm still talking a related matter:

Reading this line it made me think. Is there actually any common servers or 
proxies "out there" that merge WWW-Autenticate: or Proxy-Autenticate: headers 
to even provide more than one authenticate method in the same header line? (I 
mean, yes it is allowed and all but does it actually happen in real life?) Or 
of course, like the above example showing *the same* auth method with 
different realms!

I just now checked the libcurl code and that doesn't support "merged" 
Autenticate: headers at all and yet I've never seen anyone report a problem 
with this!
