Bug 6934 – Proxy authentication

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Cory Watson 2002-08-23 09:34:26 UTC]

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)
