Microsoft's proxy server uses NTLM authentication, which I gather provides non-standard http authentication, so that *nix clients traditionally cannot use it. The latest mozilla (v1.6) now supports NTLM, so I can at last use it to surf web. Good for mozilla!
However, any other http client (e.g. wget or Debian's apt-get) is still stuck, unable to authenticate. I understand that samba3 is able to provide NTLM authentication, but I can't see how it could be set up to pass on that authentication to the proxy server. Samba won't act as an in-between "transparent proxy" that way, will it? Likewise, squid can provide NTLM authentication, but again, this won't help me get through my institution's MS ISA proxy server, will it? So installing squid on my linux box won't help, it won't act as a go-between in front of the real proxy, true? Is there a solution I've missed? Is there any way samba can be leveraged to connect to the proxy server? Or if it really Can't Be Done, could someone kindly say so and put me out of my misery?
