Puppeteer's page.authenticate() does not work for proxy authorization!

puppeteer-proxy-page-authenticate.js

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async() => {
    const proxyUrl = 'http://proxy.example.com:8000';
    const username = 'bob';
    const password = 'password123';

    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
        args: [`--proxy-server=${proxyUrl}`],
        headless: false,
    });

    const page = await browser.newPage();

    await page.authenticate({ username, password });
    await page.goto('https://www.example.com');

    await browser.close();
})();

@mnmkng I am running puppeteer + aws lambda with proxy servers. Check this code snippet. I also tried running crawlee in aws lambda but did not work for me please check this discord discussion on apify discord channel.

Running Chromium or any headless browser on Lambda is always pain. I have not done it in a long time so can't help unfortunately. It's one of the reasons we created Apify. Because running browsers on existing serverless platforms is a constant struggle.

But Apify platform is also built on aws lambda right?

Not at all :) Apify runs primarily on EC2 and Actors run in Docker.
