Netscape iPlanet 4.1
After digging more into this problem it appears that the problem is in the
CFHTTP tag and poor documentation.  The Username and Password parameters are
apparently not for the Proxy server authentication but for accessing a
restricted page at the URL location.
Please tell me I'm wrong but that is what I'm picking up from other
readings.

This seems nearly useless to me as most proxy servers will have
authentication required, wouldn't they?  I know our company does.  I do a
<CFDUMP> of the CFHTTP variable after trying and the error I get is "407
Proxy Authentication Required " for status code.  I have specified correct
Username and Password for our proxy server and I get this.

Macromedia, you need to be more clear in your Reference documentation!

Does anyone have a work-around or suggestion here?
One source suggested using CFX_HTTP but I'm not sure it works in CF5 and if
it supports proxy authentication.

Your thoughts would be appreciated!
