That's OK, it was fun figuring out the networking code.

That's not very good is it now. . .

The existing code should translate it into a very simple
authentication scheme that most (all?) proxy servers should
understand.  I assumed that this code would work and all that was
necessary was to get it the information it needed.

As you can probably see from the patch, I didn't touch any of the code
that actually deals with putting the authentication data out onto the
network - all I know is that the code now gets the information it
needs to do its job.  Maybe someone who actually knows a bit about the
code would like to comment. . .

Sorry I can't help more,
