[MapProxy] Configure external wms that requires basic auth

[karsten]

Hi,

Thanks. I have this all working now. I was able to configure it using basic
auth similar to this fashion:
http://user1234:xsre242ffs@geo.myserver.org/proxy.php?layers=images&width=60
0&version=1.1.1&bbox=4268292.15725,5251787.80344,4638833.19507,5730276.96684
&service=WMS&format=image%2Fpng&styles=&srs=EPSG%3A31468&request=GetMap&heig
ht=775

I think a restart of apache was needed to get the settings to work.

Good to know that that is the status coed and time in milsecs.  Yes I looked
at the log files and that was what came to mind when I could initially not
get the request working 
Now I know about the status code and time.

Yes, 200 is the status code, the dash is the content-length (which was not
set by the server in this case) and 3177 is the time it took in
milliseconds.

It's strange. A missing http_proxy normally results in blocked connections
or timeouts due to firewall restrictions. An empty image as a response looks
more like the source WMS "blocks" the requests (by server IP, user-agent,
typo in password, etc.). A well behaved server should respond with 401 or
403 in this case, but thats theory...

@Karsten: Can you curl the image from your MapProxy server?

curl --user yourusername
