After testing with the sample URL that Stas provided, I've made some 
patches that solve this relatively cleanly, IMO.

After thinking a bit more about how digest auth works in these scenarios, 
copying the whole auth state struct to the second http session is quite 
correct, as long as we don't do any further requests with the first 
session. It works fine with both digest and basic auth with the sample 
URLs. (As an interesting side note, QuickTime Player failed to negotiate 
the digest auth properly, while our http auth code worked just fine, with 
these patches.)

Ronald, Luca, any opinions?
