I would need some more information about your firewall.

If it using the standard basic authentication you can set http_proxy
like:
 http_proxy=http://[<user>:<pass>@]<host>:<port>/

as described in 'bk help url'.


However there are several "microsoft-only" firewalls that don't use
the standards.  We don't support all of those.
