Proxy authentication from Ubuntu 24.04. fails for Install-PSResource with error code 407

Prerequisites

• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest image.
• Search the existing issues.
• Verified that this is not a Known Issue
• Verified this is not an issues in the underlying windows container that should be reported to Windows Feedback Hub

Steps to reproduce

Under powershell:preview-ubuntu-24.04, we cannot get NTLM authentication with our HTTP(S) proxy to work. Therefore, we cannot install PowerShell modules. We supply the proxy credentials via en environment variable (which seems to be picked up).

docker run -e ALL_PROXY="http://<username>:<pw>@<proxyfqdn>:8080" --rm --name pwsh -it mcr.microsoft.com/powershell:preview-ubuntu-24.04

I believe we are hitting https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/100231. Our Wireshark capture shows a first CONNECT to the proxy to be initiated without authentication. A second CONNECT is initiated with a Proxy-Authorization header, but that still returns 407.

The Ubuntu 22.04 and Alpine 3.20 images behave differently, there the second CONNECT message is not send at all. I believe these hit NTLM authentication not working in Linux based environment · Issue #101058 · dotnet/runtime instead.

Proxy authentication under Windows works.

Expected behavior

Az Module is installed.

Actual behavior

PS /> [System.Net.Http.HttpClient]::DefaultProxy

Credentials
-----------
System.Net.Http.HttpEnvironmentProxyCredentials

Visuals

No response

Comienza reproduciendo el comando docker run con la variable de entorno del proxy en la imagen preview-ubuntu-24.04 y, después, compáralo con las imágenes Ubuntu 22.04 y Alpine 3.20. Investiga el comportamiento del proxy NTLM descrito en las issues vinculadas de dotnet/runtime; se considera terminado cuando Install-PSResource -Name Az se ejecuta correctamente a través del proxy autenticado.
