[MPlayer-users] Proxy authentication problem

[Kristoffer Møllerhøj]

Hi!

Despite using the proxy enviroment variable 
http_proxy=http://myuserid:mypassword@eksternproxy.k-net.dk:5556
, mplayer complains about "Proxy Authentication Required". 

This also happens if I set the proxy and username/password directly in the 
URL. 

I'm using a laptop, and on another proxy without  authentication(at work), 
anything works fine.
