The link that says "Install cygwin now" downloads a program which I can
run ok,
this then (on entering our proxy server details) asks for a user name
and password -
since I don't have a password set the ok button/next button is
unavailable to be pressed.
Regards,
Phil

First of all I'll ask you the next time you report a BUG to
include more information in the subject than just "BUG".
This way you'll get much more attention.
Something like "setup.exe and empty proxy password field" will
do, I think :)
Ok :) Now, I've just checked the code and there is a problem
if you dont specify a password. I can supply a patch for this
but first of all I must be sure that using proxy auth without
password is valid.
Any comments people :)

RFC2617 specifically allows http authentication with no username and or
no password.
ie the following are valid:
user "" password "joe"
user "joe" password ""
and
user "" password ""
