From (info "(auth)Help for users"):

   For url-auth authentication (HTTP/HTTPS), you need to put this in
your netrc file:

     machine yourmachine.com:80 port http login testuser password testpass

   This will match any realm and authentication method (basic or digest)
over HTTP.  HTTPS is set up similarly.  If you want finer controls,
explore the url-auth source code and variables.

Please try that.  See the auth-source manual (info "(auth)") for more
information.

Thanks, Ted.

I did read the documentation before asking, but only setting the
environment variable "http_proxy" fixed the issue.
