This should be possible, but you need to find someone to do it. Right now
it just sends the normal header. I think if you can find out what kind of
authentication your proxy uses, it can be added, either internally, or as
a second proxy. It might be something like:
Authorization: Basic xe4dklasldhahlj
but it would help to have the revelant text from your proxy server's
manual.
