Authoxy runs unobtrusively on your computer, intercepting all HTTP and HTTPS requests, adding an authentication string, and forwarding them on to your regular proxy. This is required to use many web services (iTunes, MacHelp, QuickTime, Software Update, etc) in OS X when behind an authenticating web proxy. It can also parse Proxy Automatic Configuration (PAC) files.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Just like working from home now - without an annoying Proxy. My earlier comment about iTunes radio (below) was probably my fault for not completing the prefs as per the instructions. Great job. Thanks.
great stuff

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I found this was great, until my sysadmin changed the Windows NT network's authentication to NTLM. Then it stopped working, as Authoxy doesn't support NTLM. I would like to say that this worked very well for me when I was able to use it.
Four stars because of the secure http thing, as well as NTLM. It's gotta be hard to implement something like NTLM.
Thanks Heath!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Now that it seems to support HTTPS, it's excellent. The 1.2 release also seems to be much faster than previous versions. Hopefully it's more stable, too - pushing more than a megabyte a second through the previous version would end up killing it.
