... In dealing with a Bluecoat proxy, firefox on Linux, configured to
autodetect, can show a dialog box for auth.  This will not work.
Pressing 'cancel' the same box will then re-appear already filled with
the right auth information (from a previous try) which then will work.
This is what I do daily.
