Use squid to perform upstream web proxy authentication
Authored by: TvE on Mar 03, '03 04:34:51AM

Has anyone found a solution to THIS problem:
I need to authenticate http to a M$ based proxy, apparently only IE
can use the NTLM protocol (other browsers just gives me an
errormessage - "407 not authenticated" i think...), but not reliably -
meaning that I can only surf for less then 5 minutes at a time (not
very productive).

So - How do you get "out" through a M$ based proxy from a Mac?

i use "NTLM Authorization Proxy Server"

http://www.geocities.com/rozmanov/ntlm/

with a couple of applescripts to start and kill it

bit slow and IE works the best (safari struggles to match) but update works. They block all the other apps anyway...

authoxy author is trying to add this to make a nice workaround....

HTH
