Comment # 3 on bug 1173427 from Stuart McLaren

Thanks for your quick response Michael.

I have to confess I'm definitely not an expert in RFC 7617.

That said, yum also uses Basic Auth, and I don't see 401s when I access the
same target repo:

4.14.116.3 - user1 [26/Jun/2020:16:43:41 +0000] "GET /xxx/repodata/repomd.xml

Does it look like we have two different interpretations of the standard? (Or
maybe the same interpretation, but two different implementations?)

(I can try to capture headers too if that would help.)

Thanks.
