Help With Proxy Username & Pass with GeckoFX?

Question

I am trying to set the proxy username and password. I saw this posting (http://geckofx.org/viewtopic.php?id=832) and I thought it might be a similar setting for the usernam

You probably need to set proxy type to 1. To detect proxy settings automatically, try this:

Uri website = new Uri("http://stackoverflow.com");
System.Net.IWebProxy defaultproxy = System.Net.WebRequest.GetSystemWebProxy();
Uri proxy = defaultproxy.GetProxy(website); //no actual connect is done

if (proxy.AbsoluteUri != website.AbsoluteUri) {
    Skybound.Gecko.GeckoPreferences.User["network.proxy.http"] = proxy.Host;
    Skybound.Gecko.GeckoPreferences.User["network.proxy.http_port"] = proxy.Port;
    Skybound.Gecko.GeckoPreferences.User["network.proxy.ssl"] = proxy.Host;
    Skybound.Gecko.GeckoPreferences.User["network.proxy.ssl_port"] = proxy.Port;
    Skybound.Gecko.GeckoPreferences.User["network.proxy.type"] = 1;
    //0 – Direct connection, no proxy. (Default)
    //1 – Manual proxy configuration.
    //2 – Proxy auto-configuration (PAC).
    //4 – Auto-detect proxy settings.
    //5 – Use system proxy settings (Default in Linux).     
}
