I can't try anymore, since I probably won't be in this office for weeks or 
even months to come, but the patch looks ok code-wise.

The only part that looks strange is this:

-  else if ( strncasecmp( p, "NTLM", 4 ) == 0 &&
-    (( b && m_bPersistentProxyConnection ) || !b ) )
+  else if ( strncasecmp( p, "NTLM", 4 ) == 0 )

Not only you stripped the test for m_bPersistentProxyConnection, but also the 
test for 'b'. Is that correct?

And in the next line you wrote "relay" instead of "rely" in the comment, but 
that's nitpicking.

Without being able to test you either need to commit blind, or hope for 
someone else to be able to test for you. As I said, it *looks* good though.
