Unlikley. A browser knows about two types of authentication - one for the
destination server, the other for a proxy. It can only use the latter if
it knows that a proxy is in use. Since you are transparent, the browser
will not provide proxy-authentication in the request header. Therefore you
cannot authenticate to the "non-existent" (as far as the browser is
concerned) proxy.
