Solution 1:

Your program should see the environment variables which are set in Windows. So have these two environment variables in your Windows.

HTTP_PROXY = http://username:password@proxyserver.domain.com

HTTPS_PROXY = https://username:password@proxyserver.domain.com

And go ahead with executing your script. It should pick up the proper authenticators and proceed with the connection.
