Doesn't work behind proxy in corporate Windows network (NTLM)

[hickford]

HTTPie doesn't work in my office because our computers are behind an proxy. It still doesn't work even after specifying the --proxy argument, because the proxy is superevil. It uses a proprietary technology called NTLM that breaks most free software (Ruby and Nodejs as well as Python).

Here's a related issue—NTLM authentication for direct (unproxied requests) #76

This library will probably be useful in any fix https://github.com/requests/requests-ntlm

Plan is to fix this double-upstream in urllib3 urllib3/urllib3#242

There is now an HTTPie plugin for NTLM auth: httpie-ntlm

[hickford]

Sorry that wasn't clear, there are two NTLM auth protocols, one for websites, one for proxies. They use different HTTP headers www-authenticate and proxy-authenticate. See http://davenport.sourceforge.net/ntlm.html#ntlmHttpAuthentication

That plugin is based on requests-ntlm so I think it can only do www-authenticate not proxies.

Upstream issues required for NTLM proxy auth in httpie are probably:

1. Allow custom authentication (in particular NTLM) to proxies urllib3/urllib3#242
2. https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/1582

Still blocked by upstream / urllib.
