Is IOS FW Proxy Authentication Compatible w/ HTTPS server?

Can proxy authentication be triggered via https as well as http? The document below on auth proxy only mentions http.

But the following document on https shows that https is triggered by adding secure-server parameter to the end of "ip http". "ip http secure-serer". If anyone's tried this out - would be interested to know the result. Thanks.

I have tried this and it works. If you specify "ip http secure-server" command, the "Username/Password" dialogue between the end client and the authenticating agent will be secured. Otherwise the username/password is sent in clear text.

That is very interesting. We may have an application for this. Thanks for trying it out!
