From f4cf7035d2ba9160668fae504373848356d5035f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Optio Agent Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2026 03:39:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(http): prevent duplicate NTLM Type 3 request with --fail (test 150) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When --fail is used with NTLM auth, the h1 layer skips reading the 401 response body (fail_on_error optimization). However, the connection was still marked as reusable, leaving unread body data on it. When the NTLM Type 3 request reused this connection, it encountered leftover data from the 401 body, causing an HTTP/0.9 parse error. The retry logic in do_single_request then sent the Type 3 again on a new connection — producing a spurious third request that fails curl test 150. Fix: mark connections as non-reusable when fail_on_error skips the body (add !fail_skip to the can_reuse calculation in h1.rs). Also reset the is_ntlm_probe flag after Type 3 auth completes so the probe-retry path cannot fire on subsequent loop iterations.
