Description

I'm getting an error

No action for prompting/generating user+password credentials provided (use: setAuthorityGen); returning Nothing

when using 'cabal update' being behind proxy that is requiring authentication.

My login and password contain \ and @ symbols, so I have them escaped in HTTP_PROXY environment variable:

HTTP_PROXY= http://domain%5Cuser:passw%40rd@proxy.host:3128
