Auth for remote proxy is not working

Hi! I’m trying to use pproxy with a remote proxy, which is a paid proxy service. I need to authenticate the remote proxy connection with a simple http auth. Reading your docs, i understood that i need to use the username and password on the fragment part of the url, because the usual auth part on url is reserved to cyphers, right?

If i start the proxy like this: pproxy -r 'http://HOST:PORT/#USERNAME:PASSWORD' -vvv and make a call using curl --proxy "http://localhost:8080" "http://httpbin.org/ip", i receive curl: (52) Empty reply from server from the curl command.

If i do not use the pproxy and make a call using curl --proxy "http://HOST:PORT/" --proxy-user "USERNAME:PASSWORD" "http://httpbin.org/ip" works nicely.

Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks!

You miss understood me. Use: pproxy -r ‘http://HOST:PORT/#USERNAME:PASSWORD’ -vvv curl --proxy “http://localhost:8080” “https😕/httpbin.org/ip”

Feature: http TCP server -> http get,post is missing as shown in the main readme.

If the proxy only supports GET/POST, we cannot tunnel HTTPS traffic to this proxy, because TLS traffic needs safe CONNECT method to tunnel. You don’t need to specify http+ssl for HTTPS sites. The TLS traffic can be properly handled if the remote proxy accepts CONNECT method.
