need a proxy that can authenticate to a parent proxy with digest

Hi,

we have a proxy that uses digest auth.
Since many applications seem not to be able to use that, I want to install a proxy locally which uses basic authentification.
The local proxy then shall authenticate itself at the parent proxy.
That way I could tell every application to use localhost as proxy.

I tried squid an popilo, but both seem not to be able to authenticate themself via digest.

I also tried to use the kde systemwide settings but they don't seem to work either.

Alternatively: Is there any ftp-client that can use proxies with digest authentification? (Filezilla does not seem so)

squid can handle digest auth, and privoxy can just forward the authentication along

Re: need a proxy that can authenticate to a parent proxy with digest

squid can handle digest auth,

How?

cache_peer ... login=user:pass

Does not work since it's only basic auth

and privoxy can just forward the authentication along

That will result in the same behaviour as when I use the parent proxy direct, right? That is not what I want.
I want to skip the manual authentification...
