    Thank you @dmunch ! It works for me in CouchDB 2.1.1. I added the following 
lines to `local.ini` to enable proxy authentication, and to check proxy before 
cookie. The default `{couch_httpd_auth}` configuration is in the wrong section, 
and proxy authentication seems to use the secret by default.
    
    ```
    [chttpd]
    authentication_handlers = {couch_httpd_auth, proxy_authentication_handler}, 
{couch_httpd_auth, cookie_authentication_handler}, {couch_httpd_auth, 
default_authentication_handler}
    
    [couch_httpd_auth]
    secret = (32 random hex digits)
    ```
