Opera 8 (BETA) Authentication method not supported

[olaf.krause]

I endabled authentication in wingate but opera does not seem to work with it (NTLM + Basic). Firefox + IE are ok. How can I setup the proxy (or Opera) to use authentication??

[Pascal]

This from Opera's support site. It suggests switching off NTLM authentication. However, it could be something related to using a BETA - perhaps there are still some issues which need to be resolved.

Now I switched off NTLM. But Opera (now final 8) still does not work and shows not supported auth method. With IE and FF I get a login panel and it seems to work (also NTLM or both switched on).

Any ideas what I have to setup with Opera?

Networking protocols support

Opera 8 has full support for HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1. Here are some highlights:

* Persistent connections (multiple request/response through one connection)
* Cachecontrol for no-cache (always check for fresh document) and no-store (don't save to disk)
* Basic Authentication (passwords). Supports Digest Authentication, excepting integrity check on body. No current plans to support NTLM
* Resume download, provided the server supports it
* SSL/TLS support (also through proxy/firewall)
* Proxy for HTTP, FTP, Gopher and WAIS

HI Pascal, thx for your answer since I knew that I switched of NTLM, but it still does NOT work. I only asked here because there may be some tips and tricks how to use Opera with auth...
Of course I also asked opera directly but no answer yet...

Olaf, how about using this application?
