Disclaimer: I know nothing about HTTP::Proxy
Claimer: I know way too much about Basic Authentication (1)
I'm assuming url credentials like
http://username:password@some.host/ aren't relevant.
LWP's GET -eSUd is a good debugging aid here.
It'll show you the basic headers to compare to your own.
Another idea: put up your own server and watch the requests
(or proxy your proxy to see what it's trying to do)

(1) I tried to write a module that would fallback to
using the basic credentials as a pseudo-cookie if
a client had cookies switched off.
Many 401's and 30x's later I discovered that
it wasn't practically possible if you want to support
Mozilla and changing user(IE works though).
"wasn't practically possible" is a big call, let's
say I couldn't do it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
