There is --proxy option for Cygwin installer setup.exe, but it only accepts address:port.

How to provide username and password if the proxy requires authentication unattendedly?

In manual scenario, Cygwin installer is able to prompt for username and password. I want to avoid this in automated scenario. All I noticed on the Internet is authentication is possible, however, I believe this is about manual scenario.

NOTE: This is NOT the case when I want to provide command line tools with proxy settings.

There are automation tools for windows that will interface with the gui provided by setup.exe if you cannot get it to authenticate from the command line.

I can't recommend any specific application as I don't use them but I've been aware of the concept forever.

Google returns many results
