I'm trying to configure Emacs to use CNTLM to work with my company's authenticating proxy. I've followed the steps to configure CNTLM, and I've got the following in my init.el file:

(setq url-proxy-services
      '(("http" . "127.0.0.1:3128")
        ("https" . "127.0.0.1:3128")))

However, every time I try to perform a package-refresh-contents or a package-list command, I see a prompt at the bottom of Emacs with "Username [for Cntlm for parent]:". What am I missing?

  • Thanks for that, I used that to setup CNTLM and configure emacs to use it. My issue is that I keep getting prompted for credentials. I know there was an issue with http-url.el that prevented it from caching credentials, but I am using Emacs 24.5, and I verified that file has been fixed.

  • Is the problem that Emacs doesn't remember the credentials once you've entered them?

I had the same issue on Emacs 24.5, but when I upgraded to Emacs 25rc1, it went away. Perhaps the same fix will work for you?

This is how I start Emacs in shell, works with 24+, should also work with 25,

http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128 https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128 emacs
