title: Setting up an Apache Proxy with Authentication
body: <p>I need to set up a proxy with authentication to verify the behavior of an application that connects to the internet.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to set-up an Apache installation with forward proxy and authentication, and even though I am close to make it work, I wonder if there is maybe a better way, as the configuration is fairly esoteric.</p>
  
  <p>How can Apache be configured to work this way?</p>
  
  <p>Is there any other good option that is already configured? Maybe some VM or some other software tool, instead of Apache?</p>
