Hi Larry, I'm sorry that I wasn't clear in my original post! I don't need to do the server authentication on the proxy (WWW-Authentication and Authorization). What I need to do is the *proxy* authentication (Proxy-Authentication and Proxy-Authorization). Those headers are identical to the first pair, but they are handled by the proxy; if the client isn't authorized, then they can't use the proxy.
