hi,
I work in a company network with an HTTP Proxy who requires authentication.

As some software don't work with proxy authentication, I need a "local"
proxy that just forward requests and add authentication headers...

Is it possible ? Who knows this software ?

Thanks,
Igor

Igor,

Might I suggest that you discuss this with your supervisor, or with the network
administrators at your company, about your need for a non-authenticating proxy?
Adding connections (proxy server or otherwise), between your company network and
the Internet, is not a trivial task, and should not be done by anyone who is not
well experienced with networking and security.

My Company needs to have authentication on the border proxy.

I need only to have a local software that add "Credential" Header to the
HTTP Request and forward it to the real proxy ... I don't want to initiate
connections directly on the internet...

The Proxy already exists. I need a proxy between ME and the official proxy.

Thanks
Igor.

OK, Igor,

What you want is probably beyond the scope of this forum. It's not an XP issue
anyway. Maybe you'll get some help from alt.comp.networking.firewalls, or
comp.security.firewalls. I can't find a microsoft.* group that looks like it
will help.
