When given username or password is incorrect, I believe we will receive another 401 response, and give the user another chance to provide credentials.
If new credentials are provided, we will give the user/password to curl by calling  curl_easy_setopt(curlHandle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, usernameAndPassword).
AFAIK this will make curl resend the request automatically.
