Well, my point was:

*assume* it is possible to have transparent proxy with auth.

browser makes request

GET / HTTP/1.0
...

proxy sends response

407 Proxy-Auth required

browser displays Auth box.

Proxy's presense isn't a secret anymore.


Ok, I know that transparent proxy really means transparent to the 
User-Agent and not the user, but this is what I meant.
