Hello Jean-Marc, It is not possible to configure a proxy user/password in the current stable release of EMBOSS. It will, however, be possible to use 'Basic' (not 'Digest' nor 'NTLM') proxy authentication in the next release. It is also currently possible to do so using the developers' CVS version of EMBOSS.
Authentication is specified by extending the current syntax of the EMBOSS_PROXY environment variable (or by using "set PROXY" in emboss.defaults or .embossrc) The current syntax is: set PROXY "host:port" The new syntax is: set PROXY "host:port Basic username:password" with the 'Basic username:password' part being optional.
