I think I've been bitten by that too when trying to implement HTTP
Digest Authentication (client-side) in Lua on top of LuaSocket.

I think the server I was using wants the first two requests in the
same connection (the first one being the one that is answered to
with a 401 status).

Anyway, I'd be happy to get that piece of code too!
