The general form is:
http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@PROXY:PORT
Although this may naturally raise security issues as the credentials
will be available in clear text within the configuration.
Amaya properly detects the presence of an authenticated proxy so, in
general, you should use:
http://PROXY:PORT
Amaya will prompt for credentials whenever necessary. I'd suggest you
configure the "proxy domain list" ("no proxy for", usually) to
consider your Intranet environment. :-)

There's seems to be some documentation on proxy support available in
the User Manual [1] and more [2]. ;-)
Hope this helps,
