Now, we always try an initial CONNECT request with no auth at all, and wait for the proxy to reject it before sending a second try with auth. That way, we can wait to see what _kind_ of authentication the proxy requests, which will enable us to support something more secure than Basic, such as HTTP Digest. (I mean, it would _work_ to try Basic in request #1 and then retrying with Digest in #2 when the proxy asks for it. But if the aim of using Digest is to avoid sending the password in cleartext, it defeats the entire purpose to have sent it in cleartext anyway by the time you realise the server is prepared to do something better!)
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
