What it is

Successfully using libcurl to do a transfer to a specific HTTP origin

(`hostA`) with **Digest** authentication and then changing the origin to a

different one (`hostB`) for a second transfer, reusing the same handle, makes

libcurl wrongly pass on the `Authorization:` header field meant for `hostA`,

to `hostB`.
