According to their customer support info search item 2641, RP10:
"RealPlayer supports firewalls and HTTP proxies that require login or password 
authentication to open a port."

Note the use of the evil phrase, "open a port", indicating that they're still 
as clueless as ever.
There's nothing on this site that indicates what auth methods they support, so 
it's still a crapshoot.

This link:
http://service.real.com/firewall/fadmin.html
Indicates that their testing has finally moved beyond Proxy 1.0 Server, at 
least.

I especially like this quote from their "how to configure RP to use a proxy":
"NOTE: Some security software uses proxy information to filter pop-up ads and 
content that may be inappropriate for children. This method of filtering can 
prevent RealPlayer from properly connecting to the Internet. If you experience 
consistent connection problems through RealPlayer including "page cannot be 
displayed" and "service unavailable," try setting RealPlayer to No Proxy."

Basically, "if you want to use RP10, you need to tolerate our desire to spam 
you with ads."

Jim,

Does realplayer support NTLM auth now?

I seem to recall in the past either tom or yourself stating it doesn't... If
it does, I'd like to know as we're basically looking to use realplayer with
NTLM for http-streams from inside our network.

Paul
