pacman and proxy authentication

have arch 0.7 installed at work, behind a firewall and need to use a proxy server to get out to do any updates. i have edited my pacman.conf file as shown

Code:

ProxyServer = http://username:_password@proxy.company.com:8080

when i do a pacman --synch --refresh, it gives a segmentation fault and i have to delete a lck file which i can and if i put in

Code:

ProxyServer = 1.2.3.4:8080

it says Proxy Authentication Required

anyone know how to get pacman to work behind a proxy that requires a login?

thanks

got it working, had to enable wget in the pacman.conf and then edit wgetrc to use my proxy and everything woks good now
