I tend to think it might be a sensible behavior to not prompt for
Authentication on the client side during specifically this kind of
upwards tree walk when the client successfully authenticated for the
"main" request, and later fails with the same credentials for a parent
directory - it could catch this situation, and just treat it like a
"forbidden" internally.

However, I'm not sure whether this is easy to implement given the
asynchronous, parallel architecture of serf...
