I did, as well as the other suggestion of setting HTTP_PROXY_AUTH. All I got back from HTTP requests was that the proxy requires authentication. I assume because that method doesn’t do NT/LM authentication?

I’m going to try some of the other suggestions on Monday; hadn’t thought to try an ssh tunnel, for example.
