No proxy server support in CBLoader

Opened this issue · 0 comments


What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Start CBLoader with an index file pointing to an external resource.
2. Run CBLoader. This will result in a message that an error occurred, and 
kindly offer to show the logfile:
"10/23/2012 10:33:20 AM - INFO: Errors Encountered While Loading. Would you 
like to open the log file? (y/n)"

3. Examine said logfile. The error was:

10/23/2012 10:33:16 AM - INFO: CBLoader version 1.3.0
10/23/2012 10:33:17 AM - ERROR: Failed getting update for Rory.index
Inner Exception: The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy 
Authentication Required


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- That output is the expected output. There is a proxy server in between my 
desktop and the evil internet. That proxy server requires proxy authentication. 
Internet Explorer authenticates automatically, CBLoader does not.

A quick search on the great google yields this:

407-proxy-authentication-required

Not sure if that is helpful or not. In any event I'd like to be able to specify 
a proxy server and a port when running CBLoader. Or have it pick up IE's 
settings automatically.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- CBLoader 1.30, Windows 7.

Please provide any additional information below.
