RIM PR: 152357 We are trying to use libcurl's new feature: authentication callback mechanism to refactor our current implementation of http/proxy authentication process. This feature in libcurl is contributed by Joe Mason and will be an important new feature in libcurl's next release. For now we have a work around solution in platform repository to simulate the same logic. With this mechanism we don't need to handle all the intermediate authentication headers for some of the http authentication scheme, what we only need to do is to provide libcurl with the credentials when it calls the authentication callback.
