Test case to demonstrate NTLM + KeepAlive=false failure

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6; en-us)
AppleWebKit/531.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.3 Safari/531.9

When you attempt to make an NTLM connection with the request.KeepAlive=false,
you end up with a 401 Unauthorized response, instead of a 200 OK.

NTLM ends up with 3 request/responses (the last 2 of which are the
authentication handshake).
Internally it looks like the KeepAlive is killing the second request/response
of the NTLM handshake, and since NTLM is connection-based, the 3rd request is
_not_ authenticated any longer.

This works fine in MS.NET, I assume they're actually only sending the
Connection:close header on the 1st and 3rd requests, but not the 2nd.

(Note: tested in r140267)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up an NTLM authenticated website
2. Set the username/password in the supplied solution (in Program.cs)
3. Run solution.
Actual Results:  
The response you get for the request is a 401.

Expected Results:  
You get a 200 OK.
