Things can be always done better. The question is if the patch is step forward
or backward. If you need more time to review the patch, let me know.

Unless we are talking about different things, I believe that this is in fact the
case. There's _always_ (preemptive auth scheme notwithstanding) only one
instance of authentication scheme within a complete authentication cycle. One
may take this one step further and persist (cache) authentication schemes
between method invocations to avoid re-authentication against the realms
HttpClient already has authenticated with. But this is something for 4.0
