 Attempt to improve handling of HTTP requests on port 80 when there is a
 HTTP
 proxy that requires authentication involved.
 This also has a fix to make sure that we continue to use the same proxy
 when
 we are redirected to an alternative URL.
 I'm tempted to create a purple_proxy_append_proxy_auth_headers(), but that
 would have to wait until 2.8.0.
