The exception mentioned for 401/407 is there because those response codes are 
used for authentication, so you need to mix in use of that to find the edge

Like: access an auth-protected HTTP resource and provide a user name but with 
the wrong password, and use --fail. Possibly try digest or NTLM or added 
complexity.
