Powershell : Setting credentials for a web request

Trying to get through a proxy and getting the dreaded “407 – Proxy Authentication Required.
The solution is to use:

$wcl = New-Object Net.Webclient
$wcl.Credentials = new-object Net.NetworkCredential("login", "password", "domain")
$wcl.Proxy.Credentials = new-object Net.NetworkCredential(("login", "password", "domain"); 

And suddenly we’re through the proxy and all is good!

Enjoy!
