Priority changed from Normal to High
Target version set to 2.5.0

Confirmed here as well, if I set a system to use a proxy that requires auth, it can't communicate with the package server.

Hi
the problem exists since my oldest existing installation (here) FW:2.4.4p1. It was tested OK in Mid 2018 on 2.4.2 or .3 (whatever), so since then something must have changed in the code. As Jim Pingle had proxy auth problems on some other version it was fixed once. (shell) curl is ignoring the variables as well as like it's being compiled with ignoring the proxy parameters.
The same syntax/parameters on a CentOS 7.8 machine is working as it should.
Hope this helps

IMHO, shouldn't this technically be considering a regression as it did work at one point? Confirmed this is currently an issue on 2.5.

From a much older release, yes, but not from the last public release. It was broken in 2.4.5-p1 thus not a new regression from 2.4.5-p1 to 2.5.0.

Hi Jim
it isn't working surely since the Release: 2.4.4p1 as this is my oldest living installationen. As it was running in my first tests in 2018 it is a (code) bug since then.
More serious: with no working proxy function I'm unable to update any of the current installations as well. I'd downgrade via USB Stick to some 2.4.2 when I initially tested it, but that seems odd.

I just received today a new SG3100 for deployment and updated it to the newest stable release. The Proxy Auth problem is still present in the 21.02p1. Afaik the 21.02 should be on par with 2.5.0, so no proxy function in newer releases so far.
Any spark on the horizon?
