Negotiate (and NTLM) is connection oriented non-HTTP compliuant auth
schemes (basic principle of HTTP messaging violated). Because of this
aut credentials is only seen on the first request per TCP connection.
Once auth have completed on that connection further requests on tha same
connection looks like they are anonymous but they are in fact not...
(auth silently inherited from the TCP connection).
