I was wondering if anyone has had to use NTLM authentication when using wp_remote_get? Trying to authenticate using Basic but that is returning the proxy error. When I use other authenticators for different APIs that do use the Basic method, it works flawlessly!

Anyone got a solution for these?

In case anyone has issues like I did, I found this discussion where I added the code and instantly was authenticated. Not sure if its a Wordpress issue or a PHP one, but I feel that the ANY portion of the Wordpress authentication was getting blocked first to find the Proxy type, but timing out. Adding the code from this link worked: https://core.trac.wordpress/ticket/31232#comment:7

add_action( 'http_api_curl', function( $handle ) {
    curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC );
});
