Re: HTTP proxy authentication

$ua->proxy()
is not accepting username and password as parameters.

I am having activestate perl on win32.
$ua->env_proxy()
is not helping. The environment variables are correctly set.

I worked around this by using
    my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url);
    $req->proxy_authorization_basic('username', 'password');
    $mech->request( $req);
and this worked fine.

Now, This works well for HTTP but not for HTTPS.
I am having Crypt::SSLeay
But this approach doesn't work.

So, when I try for example $mech->get("https://mail.yahoo.com/");
I again get 407 error.....

It seems that UserAgent works differently for HTTP and HTTPS...
correct me if I am wrong.

regards,
Prateek
