Is anybody using serf with negotiate authentication? I can't get it to
work with a 1.6.5 server using mod_auth_kerb and negotiate.
The server sends the 401:
WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="my realm"
correctly, but serf just keeps re-sending the same original
unauthenticated
request. Works fine if negotiate is removed, and works fine either way
when switched to use neon.
I tested with the collabnet 1.7.0-dev build r1136035. User agent shows:
SVN/1.7.0-dev serf/0.8.0
