[Bug-wget] [Bug-Wget] Handling of Multiple authorizations

According to RFC 2617, the server may either send multiple WWW-Authenticate
Headers or a single WWW-Authenticate Header with multiple challenges. In
such a case, it is advisable to select the most secure protocol known by
the client for authentication.

Wget, however uses only the first challenge it sees and begins sending the
challenge response. This can be easily replicated through the
Test-auth-both test in the new Test Environment I'm writing and is
available at: https://www.github.com/darnir/wget-gsoc

My question is, are we interested in fixing this or do we just let it be?
