#2910: NTLM proxy authorization broken

Comment (by igitur):
I'm experiencing exactly the same problem reported by thecrux.
Even though I setup my proxy host, port, username and password correctly,
the proxy server returns:
{{{
HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires
authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is
denied. )
Proxy-Authenticate: Negotiate
Proxy-Authenticate: Kerberos
Proxy-Authenticate: NTLM
}}}
I verified that Pidgin sends:
{{{
CONNECT server:port HTTP/1.1
Proxy-Authorization: Basic RTkxMsometextXNzODM=
Proxy-Authorization: NTLM TlRMTVNTUAABAAsometextCAAIACAAAABYMDAxNzc4NQ==
}}}
As stated, it seems the proxy server recognises only the first
authorisation header and ignores the NTLM authorisation.
How about an option in the GUI for explicitly selecting the authorisation
method? Include an option for "All methods", which would emulate the
current behaviour.
