 Priority:  not urgent at all           |   Milestone:  4.7.0
Component:  core tools                  |     Version:  4.6.x

----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 I have added support for HTTP proxy authentication to chicken-install(1).
 The code is attached.

 Since Basic authentication needs a base64 string and this egg is not in
 use in chicken-install, the user needs to configure the proxy_auth
 environment variable with such encoded string.

 As an example of usage, try

 # proxy_auth=$(echo -n user:pass | base64) chicken-install egg

 a sh-derived unix shell.
