CONNECT 192.111.222.33:22 HTTP/1.0 Proxy-Authorization: Basic <usernamepasswordencodedinbase64format> and press enter twice

getting this error

I just need to press enter key and type this Proxy-Authorization: Basic instead of the same line which was a mistake done because of bad information. so it will be like

CONNECT 192.111.222.33:22 HTTP/1.0  press enter 
Proxy-Authorization: Basic <usernamepasswordencodedinbase64format> and press enter
