how to pass a username and password through command line for --proxy-server flag

[Simran Singh]

i want to pass a username and password from the command line for --proxy-server flag in chromium i also tried in this way but it can't works:

--proxy-server=protocol=username:password@host:port

But if I use the flag like this:

--proxy-server="host:port"

and open any website, it opens a prompt box to fill a username and password. After filling the username and password, it works properly.

Is there a way or any changes in code  to fill the username and password through the flag so that the proxy flag works properly without requiring manual input?

As far as I know, this is not supported in the --proxy-server switch, which uses this format; see also this documentation. I think it would likely be possible to pre-populate the password store with the credentials that apply to the proxy authentication realm, but I'm not immediately sure how to do that.

See https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:net/docs/proxy.md for more details on proxy configuration, but yes, Chrome doesn't support providing credentials from the command line, and Chrome also won't grab manually configured system-wide credentials on platforms that support that (It will grab dynamically NTLM/Negotiate credentials from platform APIs, but that's rather different)
