Proxy Athentification Problem [message #1861673]

Up to now the oomph installer did run behind a company proxy and this worked very well.

Yesterday (2023-25-10) I updated Oomph to its latest version and now it is not able to athentificate properly at the proxy.
Directly after start, even before the UI shows up, I get questions
"Saved login details were not accepted. Please provide login details for http://proxy_url:proxy_port

Since this is relatively new and worked in previous versions:
Did you change something in the authentification part of Oomph?
Is there something to consider now that I am not aware of?
Is this maybe simply a bug?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Yes, p2 has moved to a new ECF http client implementation so Oomph pretty much forced to use that too for everything, including for loading the catalogs.

I have expressed my concerns at the Planning Council that the proxy support will be broken for the new implementation. You can find details and links from the meeting.

https://github.com/eclipse-simrel/.github/blob/main/wiki/Planning_Council/2023-10-04.md

Here are some direct links:

https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator/pull/1389#issuecomment-1734270639
https://github.com/eclipse-equinox/p2/issues/205

I have also strongly recommended that the IDE Working Group fund the necessary work to make the new ECF http client implementation work properly with proxies. This has not found significant traction yet.

I would highly recommend that you reproduce the problem ASAP with an I-Build from here:

https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/index.html

I.e., is it possible install anything from anywhere into this IDE through your proxy? I kind of doubt it. In that case, please open an issue here with details about the settings you're trying and the behavior you are seeing:

Hello Ed

First of all sorry for the long delay!
I read through the issue discussions in github - it's interesting.

I did as suggested and downloaded the I-Build I20231105-1800 : https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/I20231105-1800/
And as you already assumed I was not able to even see the content of an p2 update site. I tried with https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.30 and https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2023-12.
Eclipse immediately throws Exception - see below.

I created an Issue here: https://github.com/eclipse-equinox/p2/issues/381
Hope that I did correct?
