Correct. Normal WWW authentication where the user/browser authenticates
to the origin server will work just fine.

You cannot use proxy authentication unless the browser is configured to
use a proxy. A intercepting proxy does not exists in the view of the
browser, and therefore the idea of performing proxy-authentication to a
non-existing proxy won't be (and SHOULD NOT be) accepted by the browser.
