+/// `Proxy-Authorization` header, defined in [RFC7235](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7235#section-4.4)
+///
+/// The `Proxy-Authorization` header field allows a user agent to authenticate
+/// itself with an HTTP proxy -- usually, but not necessarily, after
+/// receiving a 407 (Proxy Authentication Required) response and the
+/// `Proxy-Authenticate` header. Its value consists of credentials containing
+/// the authentication information of the user agent for the realm of the
+/// resource being requested.
+///
+/// # ABNF
+///
+/// ```text
+/// Authorization = credentials
+/// ```
+///
+/// # Example values
+/// * `Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==`
+/// * `Bearer fpKL54jvWmEGVoRdCNjG`
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```
+/// use hyper::header::{Headers, ProxyAuthorization};
+///
+/// let mut headers = Headers::new();
+/// headers.set(ProxyAuthorization("let me in".to_owned()));
+/// ```
