14:34 Proxy Authorization

A proxy MAY relay the credentials from the client request to the next
proxy if that is the mechanism by which the proxies cooperatively
authenticate a given request.

So it is hop-by-hop but may be relayed :)
But in this case it was indeed a typo ;) thanks for noticing this!
(it is fixed in CVS [1] and will be in the upcoming so-called "devel" jar=
)
Thanks!
