\C{config} Configuring PuTTY
@ -1433,9 +1433,16 @@ This excludes both of the above ranges at once.
If your proxy requires authentication, you can enter a username and
a password in the \q{Username} and \q{Password} boxes.
Currently only the \q{Username} box has any effect, and that only for
SOCKS 4 proxies. ( [FIXME] No forms of authentication are supported
for other types of proxy.)
Authentication is not supported for all forms of proxy. Currently:
\b Username and password authentication is supported for HTTP proxies.
\b SOCKS 4 can use the \q{Username} field, but does not support
passwords.
\b PuTTY does not support authentication in SOCKS 5 at all.
\b Authentication is meaningless in Telnet proxies.
