[OpenSTA-users] HTTPS and Proxy Authentication

[Tam W. <tam...@te...>]

Hi,

Would anyone happen to have made https requests via an authenticating
proxy work?

I can't get it to work using basic authentication.  Without proxy
authentication it works fine.

It seems (using WireShark to sniff the traffic) that Internet Explorer
sends the Proxy-Authorization header along with the http CONNECT
request, but in OpenSTA's SCL the CONNECT function doesn't seem to let
you provide extra header fields.   Putting the Proxy-Authorization
header on the https Primary Get seems to be ignored by OpenSTA replay in
that it sees the request is https and so correctly sends the http
CONNECT on port 443 request over the open connection, but again OpenSTA
doesn't include the Proxy-Authorization header so the proxy server just
replies with a 407 permission denied error.

I'm using 1.4.3 and the relevant parts of the script look like this,

CONNECT TO "192.168.1.239:8080" ON 1  
PRIMARY GET URI "https://machine2.testdomain1.test/Sitex/default.html
HTTP/1.0" &
		ON 1 &
		HEADER DEFAULT_HEADERS &
		,WITH {"Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg,
image/pjpeg, */*", &
			"Accept-Language: en-us", &
			"UA-CPU: x86", &
			"Proxy-Authorization: "+blob_14_1}

Any help greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Tam
