Proxy-Authorization isn't set for CONNECT requests

[moonchen]

I have a proxy set up with proxy.ConnectDial = proxy.NewConnectDialToProxy(externalProxy). externalProxy has a username and password like this: https://username:[email protected]. This doesn't work because the username and password are ignored when the CONNECT request is made.

I'm working around this by doing this:

u, err := url.Parse(externalProxy)
proxy.ConnectDial = proxy.NewConnectDialToProxyWithHandler(externalProxy, func(req *http.Request) {
	if u.User != nil {
		credentials := base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString([]byte(u.User.String()))
		req.Header.Add("Proxy-Authorization", "Basic "+credentials)
	}
})

@moonchen any progress on this? did you make it work?
