I have a slightly different problem.
I have a corporate script .PAC and its content shows me an HTTP proxy on 8080.
After setting up the Automatic proxy on System Settings > Network I can browse the web using my credentials asked by Iceweasel
However bash isn't working. After some research I could find the export command (export http_proxy=http://user: pass@server: port).
Unfortunately it would store a plain version of my corporate password, what isn't acceptable.
Setting up just the server also doesn't work. It don't ask me for credentials as I thought it could do.
Any suggestions? Thx.
