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

Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• 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

No response

Inizia riproducendo il comando docker run con la variabile d’ambiente del proxy sull’immagine preview-ubuntu-24.04, quindi confrontalo con le immagini Ubuntu 22.04 e Alpine 3.20. Analizza il comportamento del proxy NTLM descritto nelle issue collegate di dotnet/runtime; il lavoro è completato quando Install-PSResource -Name Az ha esito positivo attraverso il proxy autenticato.
