I don't need to authenticate on my proxy either. It used to be that when I used the --askauth option, pca would merrily download patches from the pca proxy's cache until it found a new one, in which case the proxy would fail (the same unauthorized error) and pca client would go right to Oracle. This is where my support creds were used. After that new patch was downloaded, subsequent requests to the pca proxy cache seemed to go through just fine (otherwise the cache would never be able to download a new patch). I do know that when I supply user/pass on the command line or in a file I have no issues using the proxy, but I miss the ability to supply these interactively so that they aren't stored on disk.
