Proxy authontication popup for Https is not getting displayed

Question

Hi,
We have proxy server in java, and it should ask for the authentication, while using old versions of IE (IE6), opera we get proper proxy authentication prompt for Https as well as Http request.
But with the new version of browser IE8, Firefox 2, ... 3 we are not getting the Proxy authentication prompt for the Https request only (for http its working fine)
Actually the proxy server ask for authentication for the every first request only, but if the first request is Https then it fails with 407 error, as per the logic whenever we set response.setStatus("407"); response.setMessage("Proxy authentication required"); it should prompt for the proxy authentication and its working fine for old browsers and for Http request but its not working for new browser with Https request
Could you please provide some information on how to achieve proxy authentications for Https and new versions browsers.
Following are the code used for it
/*ResponseProcessor.java*/
     public static Response createResponse(ScriptableConnection connection, String message) {
          Response response = new Response();
          Request request = connection.getRequest();
          response.setRequest(request);
          if (message.equals(SPConstants.TECHNICAL_ISSUES)) {
               response.setContent(message.getBytes());
          if (message.equals(SPAuthorizationConstants.INVALID_CREDENTIALS)) {
               //response.setVersion(request.getVersion());
               response.setHeader("Proxy-Authenticate", "Basic");
               response.setStatus("407");
               response.setMessage("Proxy authentication required");
               if (request.getHeader("Proxy-Authorization") != null) {
                    response.setContent(message.getBytes());
               return response;
          return response;
/*ConnectionHandler.java */
public void run() {
String authorizationStatus = RequestProcessor.checkUserPreRequiste(request,user,ticket,statusVisitor); //SP CODE
                    if(authorizationStatus.equals(SPAuthorizationConstants.USER_IS_AUHTORIZED)) { //SP CODE
                             try {
                                  response = hc.fetchResponse(request);
                                  if (response.getRequest() != null)
                                       request = response.getRequest();
                                             }catch........
                   } finally {
               try {
                    if (_clientIn != null)
                         _clientIn.close();
                    if (_clientOut != null)
                         _clientOut.close();
                    if (_sock != null && !_sock.isClosed()) {
                         _sock.close();
               } catch (IOException ioe) {
                    _logger.warning("Error closing client socket : " + ioe);
.......Thanks in advance,
Sachin

Hi
Follow the steps
In your current view where you create your Popupwindow; create a model attribute name "popWin" of type IWDWindow;
In code;after creating the popup window assign window object to the context element
IWDWIndow window = WDComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow( WindowInfo, true);
wdContext.currentContextElement.setpopWin( window);
At the Popup window view; create a model attribute name popWin of type IWDWindow and map it with the one that created before.
set the code on btnaction
IWDWindow popwin = (IWDWindow)wdContext.currentContextElement().getPopWin();
popwin.destroyInstance();
This will work
Regards
