cannot pacman -Syu under proxy

I tried to export environment variables using

export http_proxy='http//uem:12345@172.16.0.1:3128/'
as it requires both proxy and authentication.

and then tried to update using both of the following :
sudo pacman -Syu
and
sudo -E pacman -Syu

but it returns error 407
and
error: failed to synchronize any databases

Re: cannot pacman -Syu under proxy

I think it is double quotes and not single quotes.
If it requires authentication not sure about that. 
There's not much point in doing that with pacman, I just do a network shared pacman cache.
Look up 407 error code to see what it is.
