    Description

      What steps will reproduce the problem?

      1. In a computer that is not part of the domain of the proxy, nor have the user connected;
      2. Try issuing any serf command;
      3. The authorization will fail as it will use the current logged in user credentials.

      What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

      Using the current credentials the authorization is supposed to always fail. In this case I would suggest allowing a configuration switch or prompting the user for the correct credentials. The form could be domain\user and password.

      What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

      serf 1.3.2 (from TortoiseSVN 1.8.4, Build 24972 - 32 Bit
      Subversion 1.8.5, -release)

      Please provide any additional information below.

      Unfortunately, as a contractor, my development machine can not be part of the domain but I have credentials to access the proxy. Thats how I connect to the internet.

      It would be very nice if this change could also be coordinated with the subversion/tortoise team to receive this information from then, solving a long lasting issue for subversion windows users that use these authorizations on their proxies.

      Current workaroud:

      Use another authorization proxy (ex: NTLMaps) or, in my case, if I connect using Firefox, it requests my credentials and the authorization seens to be keeped for a while. During this time I can access the subversion server through the proxy.
