Proxy with NTLM Authentication in Console

nemesys571 · 03-31-2006, 02:01 PM

I have a machine behind a proxy with NTLM authentication (a Windows Server). Configuring the proxy on Firefox works fine, it asks me for username and password but the console is unaware of the proxy and/or authentication wich prevents netpkg from working.

How do I configure this proxy and it's authentication to work from console? right now I can't even ping google from the console! while I can browse effortlessly with Firefox...

Note, that pinging != browsing.
The average proxy server will proxy your http and ftp protocols, but not much more - not even ssh. Certainly not ICMP (like ping). You would need a SOCKS server or a transparent proxy for that in most cases.

I actually want to use netpkg and wget to download stuff, those don't work either; this is the error:

Code:

 [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 407: Via: 1.1 LABPROXY
Proxy-Authenticate: Negotiate
Proxy-Authenticate: Kerberos
Proxy-Authenticate: NTLM
Connection: Keep-Alive
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 4124

Any suggestions?

http://apserver.sourceforge.net/ looks like a good candidate to overcome that 407 Error.
