Using cvs as of today, konqueror is broken while using an authenticated proxy 
with a service that also requires a username/pass.  Note that this only 
affects authentication schemes that popup a window, not any "form based" 
password.  

To reproduce:

Turn on authenticated proxy support for https
Go to any https-enabled site, this will work fine (just verifying)
Go to http://members.digitalblasphemy.com/ 
Click on "login", use any random username/password
Instead of telling you "bad username/pass", it will say: 
"
An error occured while loading 
https://secure.digitalblasphemy.com/restricted/login.shtml:
Could not connect to host Proxy extproxy at port 8080
"
(where extproxy is my https proxy).  This occures on any site that asks for a 
u/p.  Obviously, this is bad :-)  Unfortunetly, I don't think getting an 
ethereal log will help much, cuz it's all https :-P

I know this stuff is tricky, authenticated proxy was periodically broken 
through the 2.x line. Here's to hoping this is cleared up by 3.0.1 :-)
