proxy with credentials not working

[kiavashi]

NW.js: 0.15.4 (using npm nw installer module) OS: Mac OSX 10.11.1

I have tried using an authenticated proxy and can't get it to work. I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior.

What I have got to work is using the proxy url without the credentials and manually filling in the credentials in the popup window.

For my use case I need to programmatically authenticate with the proxy.

I have tried:

• nw.App.setProxyConfig('http=user:pass@host:port')
• nw.App.setProxyConfig('http=http://user:pass@host:port')
• http_proxy env variable (which I found somewhere other than the official nwjs docs)
  • http_proxy=http://user:pass@host:port
  • http_proxy=user:pass@host:port

    Possible solutions:

• support credentials in setProxyConfig
• add a way to handle basic auth requests, maybe similar to electrons login event

the documentation for http_proxy was actually in the nwjs/npm-installer/README.md

I am interested in trying this out, please assign it to me, thanks.
