Apache ProxyRemote with Proxy-Authorization (over connect/HTTPS)

Question

It's easy to use the "RequestHeader append Proxy-Authorization" to create a forward proxy with no authentication that bounce over a password protected one. But this header is not append to CONNECT requests... I'm aware of the patch suggested at https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37355 , but it does not seems to be integrated in the trunk/release branch

Is there another way to configure the remote proxy authorization credentials (and could be used in CONNECT transactions) ?

Answer 1

I ported the patch from the 2005 mailing list message to the apache 2.2.X branch (last 2.2) and successfully test it. Usage : ProxyRemote * http://[user]:[pswd]@host:port/ (replace also the need of RequestHeader)
