proxy and auth configuration for sources

[poelerulf]

Access to external sources behind a firewall must be possible. As long as this functionality is not available, it cannot be used in a professional company environment.
The documentation does not contain any information on how to achieve the missing functionality with alternative solutions.

With FOSS, nothing "must".

But you are welcome to contribute or to find somebody contributing on your behalf (e.g., see MapServer Service Providers).

Excuse me, my mistake. Even if I mean "must" I definitely have to say "should" in English :-;

1.14.1 release will support basic auth.
