Description

Description:

When doing tunnelling through proxy servers, in case of 407 response, the
wrapper class ConnectMethod failed to pass the response header back to the
wrapped method (PostMethod in our case). As result, the response headers are
not passed back to the application.

Proposed Fix:
Change the ConnectMethod to use the wrapped method instance to get response
headers. It will be reinitialized again if "CONNECT" is successful.

Also have to modify the addProxyAuthorizationRequestHeader code to use the
wrapped method for the authenticator to work.
