What it is

Successfully using libcurl to do a transfer over a specific HTTP proxy

(`proxyA`) with **Digest** authentication and then changing the proxy host to

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

libcurl wrongly pass on the `Proxy-Authorization:` header field meant for

`proxyA`, to `proxyB`.
