It appears curl do not support the PREAUTH tag.

Too bad. IMHO preauth is the main reason to use a tunnel in the first
place.

It shouldn't be too hard to add support for this in curl.
If it's the main usecase, it'll simply means the curl tunnelling
should be disabled by default for older curl (in this case, meaning
every version until it gets supported) versions.

Yes, I agree. I was hoping when we started this discussion that we were
more ready to switch to curl-by-default. But sadly, that isn't close to
being the case. But hopefully we can at least end up with logic that
lets us use it in the easy cases (no tunneling) and falls back in the
harder ones.
