As I said, or implied - reading the code was new - as actually, normally 
I saw the C89 way to do things.

I wrote a simple test for myself to come to grips on the syntax expected 
- nothing nested, but seems to be passing test #1

     +1  typedef struct {
     +2          char * p1;
     +3          char * p2;
     +4  } http_auth_param_t;
     +5
     +6  http_auth_param_t a[] =
     +7          { "a1", "a2",
     +8            "b1", "b2"
     +9  };
    +10
    +11  main()
    +12  {
    +13          http_auth_param_t b[] = {
    +14                  (http_auth_param_t) { .p1 = "c1" },
    +15                  (http_auth_param_t) { .p2 = "e2" }
    +16          };
    +17
    +18          printf("%s\n", a[0].p1);
    +19          printf("%s\n", b[1].p2);
    +20  }

returns:
!cc c99_comp_literal.c; ./a.out
a1
e2
