Fixing 407 bad_proxy_auth Errors

Using the provided curl example, I'm getting  407 Bad Proxy errors.

curl -vx proxy.crawlera.com:8010 -U <my authentication code>: http://httpbin.org/ip 


I also tried adding a --cacert to the curl

curl -vx proxy.crawlera.com:8010 -U <my authentication code>: http://httpbin.org/ip --cacert /my/path/to/crawlera-ca.crt 


What can I do to fix this? Does the Crawlera service need several hours to begin working?


Thanks in advance

Graham

I'm having the same problem @nestor. Just subscribed to Crawlera (C10), but the only part of the entire ScrapingHub site that acknowledges my subscription is the Billing page. All other pages tell me I should subscribe to Crawlera. And when I try to use Crawlera as a proxy via command line, I get a 407 back. I tried changing my API key on https://app.scrapinghub.com/account/apikey -- still got the same errors via command line. My output is attached.

I am scraping facebook, suppose 100 times the proxy server is called in the request, but along the way random requests fail.
