The HTTP Proxy-Authenticate response header defines the authentication method that should be used to gain access to a resource behind a proxy server. It authenticates the request to the proxy server, allowing it to transmit the request further.
The Proxy-Authenticate header is sent along with a 407 Proxy Authentication Required.
