Hopefully somebody who knows better will chime in, but if I was in your shoes I would try two things:

- Maybe examine other apps (like Safari?) that handle this correctly, and see whether they are getting away with using just NSURHandle. If they are, they are probably figuring out how to set appropriate keys/values in the NSHTTPPropertyHTTPProxy dictionary so it gets set up for them automatically. Copy them if you can figure it out.

- If that fails consider using CFNetwork directly, which has a routine CFHTTPMessageAddAuthentication that should be able to take care of the proxy auth for you.

I see how I can set a proxy server using the new NSHTTPPropertyHTTPProxy key
in NSURLHandle, but what if the user has "Secure Web Proxy" selected in
System Prefs? What about their login and password. My app makes
connections on the backend, so the user can't go to a special page in a
browser and fill that stuff in. It'll have to be set in my prefs window.
But how to I tell NSURLHandle to use that name and password? There's no
place for the user to fill that in in System Prefs, so obviously I'll have
to set it myself. How?

I am fully aware that in 10.2, all of the blaBlaBlaWithContentsOfURL methods
use the proxy settings from System Prefs, so please do not detour my thread
talking about that.

The question is specifically about setting secure proxy username and
password for an NSURLHandle in 10.2.

Thanks.
