They just instituted proxy authentication at our site
and now I can't use OmniWeb.  I was able to capture
the proxy's authentication request (see below).  I assume
that OmniWeb only supports the 401 Unauthorized, WWW-Authenticate:
method and not the 407 Proxy-Authenticate method.  From reading a
draft standard I can't determine if there a difference in the  
required reply between the two.
