Error description
the client's delegate callback methods (i.e. didReceiveResonse, didReceiveData, ...) got called when the server returned HTTP status 401 which will initiate the authorization process. This is not the desired behavior! The client's code shouldn't be aware of the authorization process at all, but only to get notified weither it was failed, or in case it succeeded, get the original resource response, whatever that was. Note that in each callback method below, we check for this flag and if it is set to YES, we won't deliver the event to the client delegate code.
Local fix
Cancel the connection upon start of authorization process
