Proxy Authentication

See original GitHub issue

Background

I’m using capybara (2.6.2) to build an rspec-extension called proxy_rb to do TDD of our HTTP proxy environments. Setting the proxy without any proxy authentication works fine. Authentication against proxies using the BASIC-scheme does not work.

This is a followup to https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium-google-code-issue-archive/issues/5209. Hope there’s no other issue about this issue. I found none.

Expected Behavior -

Selenium enters Username + Passwort for Proxy Authentication in Firefox.

Actual Behavior -

Firefox shows Username + Passwort-Form which is closed after a short time span.
