It took some time to get to it, but I've tested setup.exe using an NTLM authenticating proxy @work today and it does exactly what it is supposed to do (pop up a dialog box asking for the user name and password, then authenticate to the proxy and use it for the rest of the session). So your problem still seems to be some misconfiguration on the proxy side that causes communication with setup.exe to fail. = = = You can call it "misconfiguration." I can call it "different" configuration than setup assumes. The point remains: other programs, like wget, consistently work OK, without popups, when given proxy username and password in either .bashrc or .wgetrc, and I am sure they were not customized for this proxy. Maybe a comparison of how wget handles authentication versus how setup handles it could help? > Defaulting to empty mirror list > site: ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/ Err… could it be that your proxy isn't actually of functioning as an FTP proxy? How about using a HTTP mirror instead? = = = No. Wget works OK with either type. HTTP mirror has been tried with setup, and also does not work. From previous post, setup fails to retrieve mirrors.lst, with an HTTP, before failing to retrieve setup.ini. Again, wget can retrieve these consistently OK when given username and password. net: Proxy Cached mirror list unavailable get_url_to_membuf http://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst getUrlToStream http://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst getUrlToStream failed! get_url_to_membuf failed!

[ANNOUNCEMENT] stunnel 5.38-1
stunnel 5.38-1 is now available in Cygwin. This is a new upstream release with minor enhancements and bug fixes. See http://www.stunnel.org/sdf_ChangeLog.html for the list of changes since the previous release, version 5.35. stunnel is a program that allows you to encrypt arbitrary TCP connections inside TLS (Transport Layer Security, formerly known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)). stunnel can allow you to secure non-TLS-aware daemons and protocols (like POP, IMAP, LDAP, etc) by having stunnel provide the encryption, requiring no changes to the daemon's code.

mintty window gets tilde characters "pressed" in it
Win7. I believe my Cygwin version info is "2.5.2(0.297/5/3) 2016-06-23 14:29". I've been annoyed for a while with a symptom in my mintty windows. I will be typing along, or not, and suddenly a "~" character gets injected into the stream. It often is the only character at the prompt, so I can erase it and type my command, but it's really annoying when it appears while I'm typing. I was just reminded of it now when it injected the "~" right before I pressed enter on a "mkdir", so I had to then remove the dir I just created and recreate it. Is this something that Cygwin can control? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Ian Lambert via cygwin writes: > Maybe a comparison of how wget handles > authentication versus how setup handles it > could help? The problem is on your side and I cannot reproduce it. So that analysis (which I've asked for earlier) either comes from you or you'll have to wait until someone else can reproduce it. In any case, I've verified that setup.exe does ask for the user/password if it gets the required 407 error response from a proxy requiring authentication and then correctly uses that proxy for the remainder of the session.
