Rcurl Proxy Authentification in R 3.5

Question

I finally was able to use Rcurl::geturl() by setting proxyauth ="ntlm", unfortunately when updating R to R 3.5 and Rstudio to the latest version, this all went nuts and i get error Authentication failed either because credentials were not provided or they could not be validated, here is my code:

curl=getCurlHandle()
opts <- list(
  proxy         = 'proxy', 
  verbose=T,
  proxyuserpwd = "username:pswd", 
  proxyport     = 80,
  proxyauth ="ntlm",
  httpauth = 1L)

options(RCurlOptions=opts)
getOption("RCurlOptions")
RCurl::getURL("http://stackoverflow.com")
