I kept getting this error:
pear list-all File http://pear.php.net:80/rest/c/categories.xml not valid (received: HTTP/1.0 407 Proxy Authentication Required )
The error was because my proxy required an authentication. To use PEAR behind a proxy that requires authentication use this:
pear config-set http_proxy http://username:password@yourproxy:80
You can change 80 to the port of your proxy.

Thank you for google that I found your site and this page! You save my time with PEAR.
Thank you for leaving a comment Alex ^_^
Oh yeah
Thanks !
Thanks, always good to type ‘tool authenticated proxy’ and get the answer in 10 seconds
Thank you very much for your help!
I had the same problem and found your blog via google.
Greetings from Berlin/Germany!

Also, if your password contains a pipe character “|” you will have to enclose the entire proxy url in quotes (ie: “http://user:th|s@proxyserver:80″)
just wondering if there’s a way we can set this up by editing pear.bat (for Windows)… would it be something like:
SET http_proxy=”http://proxy.somewhere.net”
- or does this just not work?
Hi Tom, I have not tried doing this in Windows. At work, I use Windows, but I have PHP and the rest of the stuff in a *nix box.
Thanks a LOT dude!
But how can we do when the username contains an arobase ?
i think you can enclose the username in double quotes. my username contains the @-sign and i am able to use pear behind a proxy
Like this
pear config-set http_proxy http://“myusername@myfai”:mypass@myproxy:8080 ?
That doesn’t run !
try pear config-set http_proxy “http://myusername@myfai”:mypass@myproxy:8080
Bad news !
Connection to `myfai:mypass@myproxy:8080′ failed:
Just wanted to thank you for a really good post. I found it quite useful and will check your site often.
Thank’s. Worked perfectly for me
