Ok. I understand your arguments about realm. Will this bug be fixed in next release?

[http_proxy]
scheme=http
host=wpad
port=8080
user=KDanilov
password=xxx

Yes, I'm sure that I point address and port separately. I think it's right way, isn't it?

>i.e. the prompt should really be:

Should be, but wasn't :) I made copy-paste without any changes except passwords and company name

>Also, you said: "with and without http_proxy params in bazaar.conf" but http_proxy should be specified as an environment variable, we never look for it into bazaar.conf (may be we should), so it's unclear to me what you're doing exactly there :-/

Yes, right. Now I remembered that proxy should be set via environmental variable. Some time ago I set proxy via this approach too, but I have the same behavior.
But I think it's good idea to add http_proxy parameters to config files, because it is more usual way.
