I am working on enabling prox support. When I set the proxy server to
require authentication but don't set the right user name and password it
responds as follows:

The response is an HTTP protocol violation and the method throws an
exception.
I believe there is no good way to provide the user with diagnostic
information (unless I change HttpClient source (readStatusLine()) as
indicated in
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01012.html)
which descibes a somewhat similar situation).
Is this correct? Should this really not been enhanced in the main line as
described in the prior posting?
It seems to me that one would want to make more information available to
the user when initial connections cannot be created. Perhaps ignored status
lines should be captured in the exception thrown.
