Hi Mehmet,
At work we used to have MSProxy (now we use squid;-) and I got lynx authenticate
through it fine.
If you have already done this then ignore me but make sure that in /etc/lynx.cfg you
have told lynx that you are using a proxy.
In the lynx.cfg there is a section that will have something like:
#http_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/
#https_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/
#ftp_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/
Remove the # for http and put in the address of your proxy server. When lynx goes
through it was ask you to authenticate.
Hope this helps.
Shaun
