Hi,

I'm using the remoteservice API to integrate our tooling with a REST
service. The main reason I use ECF instead of commons-httpclient directly
is proxy support. I was hoping that ECF is picking up the proxy settings
from Eclipse's "Network Connections" preferences.

To test if the proxy is actually used I entered a wrong proxy port and
tried to access my REST service. Much to my surprise the call succeeded
and I got no exception.

Debugging around in RestClientService I come to think that the platform's
proxy config is actually ignored. What puzzles me also is the following
message upon startup:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.net 1 0 2011-04-06 21:09:16.614
!MESSAGE System property http.proxyHost is not set but should be www-
cache.

Does that mean that the proxy could not be setup correctly? Is
RestClientService actually supposed to use the configured proxy?

Does p2 (update) use the proxy settings correctly? Try checking for
updates in the runtime and see if it connects eclipse.org through the proxy.

The ECF filetransfer API (used by p2) *is* using the Eclipse platform proxy settings. Unfortunately the same is not yet true of the REST API. This is an enhancement (adding support for using Eclipse proxy configuration in the REST API) that has not yet been implemented. Happily, it's easy to do...e.g. essentially copying the filetransfer httpclient provider's use of the Eclipse proxy API into the REST code...but it hasn't been done. Please consider opening an enhancement request for this...and if possible helping with a contribution to implement.
