Description
I have added support for HTTP proxy authentication to chicken-install(1). The code is attached.
Since Basic authentication needs a base64 string and this egg is not in use in chicken-install, the user needs to configure the proxy_auth environment variable with such encoded string.
As an example of usage, try
# proxy_auth=$(echo -n user:pass | base64) chicken-install egg
a sh-derived unix shell.
