I am trying to download a file protected via basic auth:
curl "http://User:[email protected]/blub/bla.bin"
This is working fine.
As soon as I tell curl to use my locally installed polipo it fails:
$ http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:8123" curl "http://XXXXX:[email protected]/blub/bla.bin"

Is this caused due to an error in Polipo or curl? (Or am I doing it wrong?)
EDIT: http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:8123" curl -u XXXXX:Pass "http://example.com/blub/bla.bin" is working fine.
Thanks!
