 When connecting through an http proxy with basic auth, the client (tor)
 should send an HTTP request with header "Proxy-Authorization: Basic
 <base64 user:password>" (rfc 7235), but instead tor uses something defined
 for basic auth with http servers, like "Authorization: Basic <base64
 user:password>". For a proxy like squid (at least) this means it cannot
 connect to the relay network as it keeps receiving error 407 (auth
 required)
