[DUG] TIdHTTP

[Ben Taylor]

Well, it's good that it's working now..

in terms of logic, indy implements what http requires. if you dont explicitly
specify basic auth, then there's roundtrips to the server to negotiate
authentication. how many retries depends on the auth method, eg integrated/ntlm/SSPI
require 3.

thats not to say the default shouldn't be changed to be more 'friendly'.. maybe it
should be.
