Username and password in proxy environment variables seem to get ignored since finding a location doesn't work with them set. Proxy authentication is also not featured in the preferences user interface, so I understand it is just not supported. Please, add support. I am willing to volunteer if necessary.
After a quick glance I'm unsure whether this is supported or not. Maybe it works out of the box. What I'm sure about is that only the HTTP_PROXY environment variable will be used. Does this variable have a scheme like "user:password@server"? Proxy configuration support was removed from the UI because it should be configured at the proper place (typically some settings application), not in the plugin.

I have both HTTP_PROXY and http_proxy set to the same value: http://user:password@server:port. Wget works right with them. > Proxy configuration support was removed from the UI because it should be > configured at the proper place (typically some settings application), not in > the plugin. I have just realized that I have version 0.8.2, not 0.8.3. Is this supposed to be fixed there? I read it now uses libsoap and proxy settings are handled from the environment variables. I thought that was exactly what it was supposed to do in my version with "auto-detect from environment" checked, which is what I had. Will try to get 0.8.3 compiled somehow. It may take me a lot of time, though (running fedora 18 with the pre-compiled packages).
Hi, I managed to compile 0.8.3 and it's working fine. I'm sorry about the confusion with 0.8.2. Marking the bug as fixed.
Ok, fine that it works for you. Now we have that functionality tested successfully too ;-)
