Comment(by psmith2100):

 I just attached a file called pidgin266debug.txt that shows a successful
 login.  And I do not have credentials in either the main proxy or the
 account proxy settings.  And I do not have the SSL option checked on the
 account proxy.

 Replying to [comment:26 psmith2100]:
 > This is not correct.  Our HTTP and IM proxy servers do NOT require
 authentication.  I have never entered credentials into Pidgin, and I do
 not have to enter credentials for Trillian or Yahoo Messenger.  Pidgin
 2.6.6 works with no proxy credentials entered in either the main proxy or
 the account proxy.

 of changes that you tested are correct, at least for your case.  Given the
 first debug log that you posted (when using 2.7.2devel), it looks like you
 need to specify a username and password for your HTTP proxy, although I'm
 not sure if it'll work.  We've had several reported issues with NTLM-
 authenticating proxy servers, and basically none of us use or have access
 to such a proxy.

 starting on line 18 the message returned from the proxy server indicating
 that you need to authenticate.  Other apps may do this transparently by
 hooking into some magic Windows API's for credentials; as far as I know,
 we don't know how to do that, which is why you have to specify the
 credentials in Pidgin.
