Description

After switching from 4.1.3 to 4.2.1 the preemptive authentication doesn't work as expected (and described in the tutorial - http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/authentication.html#d5e1032 ).

When credentials are provided for the auth cache after the very first 401 response the request should be handled as failed. Instead it's executed once again.
