Comment(by mikey):

 Seems like there is a real hard-coded limit of 48 (the user needs 51
 characters at least):
   if (options->HTTPProxyAuthenticator) {
     if (strlen(options->HTTPProxyAuthenticator) >= 48)
       REJECT("HTTPProxyAuthenticator is too long (>= 48 chars).");
   }

 So newlines aren't necessarily the issue here until this limit is raised.
 Not sure what the next step here is.
