JDK-4323990 - HttpsURLConnection doesn't send Proxy-Authorization on CONNECT
Description
This is actually a more generic issue than with JSSE. java.net HttpURLConnection has the same problem.

Currently, there is no public API to set proxy authentication information if we are doing ssl tunneling through the proxy server. There is no API to set other request properties through tunneling.
Comments
WORK AROUND Modify one of the JSSE sample code called SSLSocketClientWithTunneling.java to add proxy authentication information to the request header.

EVALUATION This may be a duplicate of 4323990. Jaya can confirm this. After consulting Yingxian, this bug turned out to be a duplicate of 4323990. Proxy authentication for tunneling has been provided in the fix to 4323990. A user can provide username and passwd information for proxy authentication while tunneling by implementing java.net.Authenticator as needed. There is no need for new APIs to provide username and passwd for proxy authentication during tunneling. jayalaxmi.hangal@Eng 2001-07-11
