Created attachment 147743 [details] Screenshot of relevant Options window If a user fills in the proxy authentication stuff on proxy that uses IMPLICIT authentication as opposed to EXPLICIT authentication then proxy authentication will not work. See attachment. In other words users should NOT fill out this information unless they know for a fact that the proxy requires explicit authentication, e.g. DIGEST method or the like. Many proxies today use NTLMv2 for authentication. I suggest to change the text to: "Proxy requires explicit authentication". (I don't know of a better word than explicit/implicit)
