Hi, I am trying to setup very basic forward proxy. I have changed configuration file as follows: LoadModule auth_digest_module modules/mod_auth_digest.so LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so ProxyRequests On ProxyVia On <Directory /> AuthType Basic AuthDigestDomain / AuthDigestAlgorithm MD5 AuthDigestNcCheck Off AuthName "WS Group@ipoffice" AuthUserFile C:/pwd.txt Require valid-user </Directory> I am still getting 401 instead of 407! And generally, from the way it works, I do not think that server is configured as proxy Do I miss anything?

It's a reverse proxy, not a forward proxy.
