Safari for Windows won't remember proxy authentication credentials

I'm trying to use Safari 5.1.2 on my work Windows 7 Professional machine to keep my bookmarks and reading list in sync with my iPhone and home Mac via iCloud. On my company network we use a proxy on port 9000 for all browsing, however Safari constantly spawns authenitcation credential prompts when opening pages (or without navigating at all). Selecting the option to remember the credentials does nothing, and the options for usernames and passwords is selected in Safari options but this doesn't help.


It doesn't matter what format I enter my username as. So far I've tried:



all to no avail.


Chrome V16 and IE9 have no issues with proxy authentication and they seem to share the global LAN settings. It doesn;t even hinder Safari's ability to resolve pages through the proxy, it's just annoying for each page view to spawn up to a dozen prompts.


Has anyone else had this issue, or shed any light on how to resolve?

Dell Latitude-OTHER, Windows 7
