[Wine] Wine automatic proxy authentication?

[A. Tres Finocchiaro]

I assume you've tried "username:password at proxyaddress.com" already.

I think you hit the nail on the head with NTLM.  Since it uses windows
authentication, you might be stuck.  If the proxy supports netbios,
you could try to map a network drive to it through the cmd.exe
interpreter.

I'm not sure if IETab for Firefox works in Wine or if it even can pass
in its proxy settings, but may be worth a try.

A quick search shows it probably doens't work:

Next idea possible the IEAK (IE admin kit).  Looks like it can deploy
IE8 proxy settings, but no idea about IE6.  I also don't know if the
kit itself is compatible with Wine.

Lastly, you've probably already stumbled upon this, but it has code
snippets.  If you could get this to run in a wine compatible windows
language (vbscript, vb6?) then execute iexplore perhaps it would
retain the settings.  A lot of work though for a missing dialog box.

Since the problem is authentication through a proxy, I don't think this will help.  Also it doesn't appear to be a problem with wininet.dll.  The dll appears to be working fine, the problem is that I don't have a way to give it a username and password.  In windows it gets that information through system calls.  It might be trying to do that from my WINE as well, but my linux credentials don't have internet privileges.  I need to use my windows domain credentials.
