Yes, and this is an area open for exploration on what IE does when
connection-oriented auth is combined with proxies...

but I suppose that with your approach it will be happy no matter what.

Yes. Not much to be done about unfortunately. The main downside is that
there might be a few requests not getting cached which otherwise would
have been if the client isn't behaving and opening a new connection when
visiting another site after using connection-oriented auth.

A bigger problem that needs addressing is that you should somehow make
sure to close the server-side connection when the client connection is
gone. This to avoid excessive number of tied up server-side connections
which can not be referenced any longer..

My approach had a very close relation between client<->server
connections, and barfed on the client if it did not behave. This is the
area where Adrian run into stability issues..
