I've tried it with both http-gw, and the Apache server configured in
proxy mode. Both fail, and again not for every single transaction, but
reliably.

Since the request shows up in the log file with the 401, and since I've tried
multiple proxies, I didn't consider it to be a proxy problem. Sometimes
it works from the outset, in which case it will continue to work until
one failure happens, then it will continue to fail. Neither proxy is set
to cache documents at the moment. Also, authorization works fine for
non-HTTP-Upload URLs.

I'll run the tcpdump stuff Wed., when I return to the office.
