Set proxy through windows command line including login parameters

Question

I want to set a proxy throught the command line  first thing I found out is that you have to run command line with administrator rights - then the basic proxy set would be   netsh winhttp set proxy SERVER PORT   This works nice  but I also want to add a login  As you can see I ve tried using netsh- winhttp  however manual does not say anything about the login part so I just tried   netsh winhttp set proxy user password SERVER PORT   This unfortunately does not work  Is it even possible to achieve something like this in netsh- winhttp   If so  how  If not    what windows commands should I follow    O r   i s   t h i s   m o r e   e a s i l y   a c h i e v e a b l e   t h r o u g h   s o m e   W i n d o w s A P I     e   g     u s i n g   C   C           Thanks for help  please feel free to ask any questions if something is unclear   USING  Windows 7  cmd exe  netsh- winhttp  EDIT  This looks like the C   way  http   msdn microsoft com en-us library windows desktop aa383144 v vs 85  aspx   but a better way for C   might be to go this way  http   msdn microsoft com en-us library windows desktop aa385384 v vs 85  aspx general option   - so the remaining question is how to achieve this in command line generally  or even better command-line- netsh- winhttp

If you are using Microsoft windows environment then you can set a variable named HTTP PROXY  FTP PROXY  or HTTPS PROXY depending on the requirement   I have used following settings for allowing my commands at windows command prompt to use the browser proxy to access internet   set HTTP PROXY http   proxy userid proxy password proxy ip proxy port   The parameters on right must be replaced with actual values   Once the variable HTTP PROXY is set  all our subsequent commands executed at windows command prompt will be able to access internet through the proxy along with the authentication provided   Additionally if you want to use ftp and https as well to use the same proxy then you may like to the following environment variables as well   set FTP PROXY  HTTP PROXY   set HTTPS PROXY  HTTP PROXY

The best way around this is  and many other situations  in my experience  is to use cntlm which is a local no-authentication proxy which points to a remote authentication proxy  You can then just set WinHTTP to point to your local CNTLM  usually localhost 3128   and you can set CNTLM itself to point to the remote authentication proxy  CNTLM has a  magic NTLM dialect detection  option which generates password hashes to be put into the CNTLM configuration files
