I don't think there's anything technically wrong with what you have, but try this minor modification:

when HTTP_RESPONSE { 
    if { ( [HTTP::status] eq "401" ) and ( [HTTP::header exists WWW-AUTHENTICATE] ) } {         
        HTTP::header replace WWW-Authenticate ""             
    }         
}
