Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-13 10:01:34 UTC
Successfully using libcurl to do a transfer over a specific HTTP proxy
(`proxyA`) with **Digest** authentication and then changing the proxy host to
a second one (`proxyB`) for a second transfer, reusing the same handle, makes
libcurl wrongly pass on the `Proxy-Authorization:` header field meant for
`proxyA`, to `proxyB`.
