Basic proxy authentication

[BaukeZwart]

I run CS on my local host and qbit on a remote seedbox that requires proxy authentication when accessing via https.
When I ty to set the qbit url in the config to https://user:pass@domain/qbittorrent I'm getting a qbit login error.
qBittorrent login failed with code 401
Would it be possible to support proxy authentication so https can be used when accessing remote clients?

If I'm not mistaken, this is something that could be easily accomplished with a reverse proxy setup such as nginx, swag or caddy (just two popular options of many choices)

I was hoping for a fix where I don't have to mess with NGINX on the seedbox, managed that for all other apps, CS is the only one that I haven't managed to get https working for.
I'm terrified to lock myself out.
And that won't be a solution for users on a shared box, they won't have root access and probably can't access the NGINX settings.

Did you ever get this to work? I am having the exact same problem
