How do I configure Emacs behind an authenticated HTTP proxy?

Question

There\'s another question that answers this though it doesn\'t specify anything regarding proxy authentication.

Its solution is

(setq url-proxy-services          


        

Answer 1

I get authorization working without user interaction by:

(setq url-proxy-services
   '(("no_proxy" . "^\\(localhost\\|10.*\\)")
     ("http" . "proxy.com:8080")
     ("https" . "proxy.com:8080")))

(setq url-http-proxy-basic-auth-storage
    (list (list "proxy.com:8080"
                (cons "Input your LDAP UID !"
                      (base64-encode-string "LOGIN:PASSWORD")))))

This work for Emacs 24.3. It based on non-public API tricks, so might not work in anther Emacs versions...

Replace LOGIN and PASSWORD with your auth info...
