There is no reason for the proxy to "consume" the Proxy-Authorization
header.  It should *examine* it, but it should leave it in the request
as it forwards it.  (I believe that it is *required* to leave it in the
request.)  That way, if the request spirals, the proxy will pass it the
second time without further ado.
