Also see bug 82388, which is related. From that bug, its probably related to darin's landing, so I'm assigning to him. If an http proxy requires authentication, then when we receive the 407 response from the proxy, we display the auth prompt correctly. However, the auth headers are never added to the request - the only header sent is the user agent. nsHttpConnection::SetupSSLProxyConnect() doesn't add any other header. At a minimum, authentication+host should be added, but all the standard ones could possibly be added as well. Checked with 2001052308 comm linux build, + reading the source. I'm going to nominate this since I think that its a very important issue.
