httpproxy authentication & agent simulation

[runrev at animabit.de]

Hello,

1. 
I need fileupload from runrev via http using a proxy. This works with

on mouseUp
  answer file "Which file ... Welche Datei soll auf den Server geladen werden?"
  set httpproxy to "http://proxy:8080"
  put it into dateiname
  set the itemdelimiter to "/"
  put the last item of dateiname into shortname
  put dateiname && "wird aufgeladen ..." into field "protokoll"
  put libUrlMultipartFormData(tForm, "pdftitel", shortname,"submit","Datei auf Server hochladen!") into tData
set the httpheaders to line 1 of tForm
delete line 1 of tForm
put libUrlMultipartFormAddPart(tForm, "filename","<file>" & dateiname, "multipart/form-data", "binary") into tData
put "http://htaccessusername:htaccesspassword@server.de/upload.cgi" into tURL
post tForm to url tUrl
set the htmltext of field "protokoll" to it
end mouseUp


2. But the proxy (http) needs 
a) authentication 
and perhaps
b) only allows Mozilla or IE compatible browsers for http access.

Now I have written a workaround in Perl:



 use LWP::UserAgent;
 my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
...
 $ua->proxy(['http', 'ftp'], 'http://proxyusername:proxypassword@proxy:8080/');
$ua->agent("Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)");

...
which allows http-upload through a proxy with authentication and agent simulation.

3. Question

Is it possible to define httpproxy authentication & agent simulation? Then I must not use Perl for a workaround ...
