In my experience, user agents do not add authorization headers in initial
requests.  I believe that this is because the proxy will not accept an
authorization header that does not contain a current nonce, and the only way
for a user agent to get a nonce is from a 407 response.  So there is no
benefit in sending an authorization header to a proxy that one has not
recently communicated with, since one cannot include a current nonce.
