Hi Larry,

I'm sorry that I wasn't clear in my original post!  I don't need to do
the server authentication on the proxy (WWW-Authentication and
Authorization).  What I need to do is the *proxy* authentication
(Proxy-Authentication and Proxy-Authorization).

Those headers are identical to the first pair, but they are handled by
the proxy; if the client isn't authorized, then they can't use the
proxy.
