How do you fix an HTTP error 407?

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 407 Proxy Authentication Required client error status response code indicates that the request has not been applied because it lacks valid authentication credentials for a proxy server that is between the browser and the server that can access the requested resource.

A 407 Proxy Authentication Required message is typically issued by a web server when a user tries to access a resource that is protected by a proxy server. The proxy server must then authenticate the user before allowing them to access the resource.

There are two common ways to authenticate with a proxy server:

• Basic Access Authentication: This is the most common method and is supported by most web browsers. The proxy server will issue a 407 response and include a WWW-Authenticate header field that contains a challenge. The browser will then prompt the user for their username and password, which will be encoded and sent back to the proxy server.

• Digest Access Authentication: This method is less common but is more secure than Basic Access Authentication. With Digest Access Authentication, the proxy server will issue a 407 response and include a WWW-Authenticate header field that contains a challenge. The browser will then generate a hash of the username, password, and challenge before sending it back to the proxy server.
