authentication.preemptive

To improve the efficiency of the authentication handshake, the user agent can be instructed to expect a particular method of authentication.
Use *basic if basic authentication is expected
Use *digest if digest authentication is expected
Use *ntlm if NTLM authentication is expected
The default value is *negotiate and the full authentication challenge is done.

Note
Note: Because digest and NTLM use a challenge handshake, if these are selected for preemptive authentication, an authentication from the server is mandatory as no content is sent during the early handshake.
