Description Peter Mihaly Avramucz 2011-05-16 19:21:12 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1

In my workplace we have an authenticating http proxy which must be used for all kind of network communication towards Internet.
When I set these options in YaST Proxy module it only sets the host and port of the proxy in the environment variables like:
http_proxy="http://wwwproxy.somewhere.com:3128"
however it lefts out the authentication data so the correct setting would be:
http_proxy="http://username:password@wwwproxy.somewhere.com:3128"


Reproducible: Always

seem like duplicate. We need to decide if it is secure to reveal to all users password to proxy.
