Research direction
Start by reproducing the docker run command with the proxy environment variable on the preview-ubuntu-24.04 image, then compare it with the Ubuntu 22.04 and Alpine 3.20 images. Investigate the NTLM proxy behavior described in the linked dotnet/runtime issues; done means Install-PSResource -Name Az succeeds through the authenticated proxy.

Description
Prerequisites
- Write a descriptive title.
- Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest image.
- Search the existing issues.
- Verified that this is not a Known Issue
- Verified this is not an issues in the underlying windows container that should be reported to Windows Feedback Hub
Steps to reproduce
Under powershell:preview-ubuntu-24.04, we cannot get NTLM authentication with our HTTP(S) proxy to work. Therefore, we cannot install PowerShell modules. We supply the proxy credentials via en environment variable (which seems to be picked up).
docker run -e ALL_PROXY="http://<username>:<pw>@<proxyfqdn>:8080" --rm --name pwsh -it mcr.microsoft.com/powershell:preview-ubuntu-24.04
I believe we are hitting https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/100231. Our Wireshark capture shows a first CONNECT to the proxy to be initiated without authentication. A second CONNECT is initiated with a Proxy-Authorization header, but that still returns 407.
The Ubuntu 22.04 and Alpine 3.20 images behave differently, there the second CONNECT message is not send at all. I believe these hit NTLM authentication not working in Linux based environment · Issue #101058 · dotnet/runtime instead.
Proxy authentication under Windows works.
Expected behavior
Az Module is installed.
Actual behavior
