No, it is not "safe" IMO, especially when authentication is in play,
especially for NTLM and Negotiate/Kerberos. Yes, it is all based on the
same set of RFCs and similar documents, but I am personally not very
enthusiastic about just relying on RFCs when it comes to real-world
compatibility. I am probably biased because we have to deal with various
incompatibilities very often when testing proxy compliance and performance.

If you test with Squid and Bluecoat, you might cover most but certainly
not the vast majority of all enterprise setups today. Sorry, I cannot
offer any hard statistics to prove this speculation (unfortunately).
Thank you,
