Broken proxy support with ICS 8.61

[Angus Robertson 574]

Ideally the component would complain if you specified authentication without credentials, but no idea if that happens. 

 

Given the 20 year age of this stuff and the number of applications written around undocumented behaviour, we try and leave things alone as much as possible, and often get caught when making what are initially thought as simple changes. 

 

Having looked briefly at the code, I think NTLM got selected due to the 407 response, but you were wasting a request round trip by not specifying authentication to start with so you got that response.

OK !

Now i'm forcing "BasicAuth" everytime... even if user has selected proxy host+port but leaves login+pass empty. If this wrong and should I leave AuthNone in this case ?

Don't know, you'll have to check the code.  The wiki has no documentation on proxy use.  My applications do not allow a use to do that.

Seems to work on my local proxy ... I'll see if users report some trouble around that.

 

Thanks for your help !
