The proxy I'm forced to reside behind at work _requires_ authentication. I've seen proggies like lynx support this by adding a 'username:password@proxy_host:port', or something to that effect. I can't rsync without it! ;)
i've this problem too. i've solved this as follown set up a box, installed squid on it here's the config (squid 2.4.6) cache_peer 192.168.1.1 parent 8080 0 login=netzxy:oidzuxe default no-query no- digest no-digest proxy-only (192.168.1.1 = ip of proxy 8080 = port of proxy netzxy:oidzuxe = nt User:password acl gentoo src 10.70.3.251/255.255.255.255 http_access allow gentoo miss_access allow all never_direct allow all prefer_direct off and added the proxy in the wgetrc http_proxy = http://10.70.3.203:3128/ ftp_proxy = http://10.70.3.203:3128/ works fine for me!
It's a microsoft proxy. The proxy auth works with Moz, Konq, and Links, but ermerge (wget actually, I guess) spews: connecting to inphna-proxy1.inphact.com[192.168.10.171]:80... connected. Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 407 Proxy authentication required 08:42:07 ERROR 407: Proxy authentication required.
install squid and go through localhost over squid to the parentproxy (your nt)
whats the status ?
