All I changed was the port number to point to a secure authenticating proxy server.
It appears that FF assumes the proxy server is talking HTTP when I would like it to talk HTTPS. There doesn't appear to be any way to define the protocol when configuring a proxy server. (Of course, if this was to work, then all of the traffic would be encrypted - which would be overkill!)
Are there other ways to transmit the credentials in an encrypted manner rather than in plain text?HTTP digest authentication.
We can't use Digest as the password file is not on the same machine. We use mod_auth_radius to connect to a RADIUS server (on another machine) to check credentials against the ADF database.
