Hi,

is there a way of disabling the use of the socks proxy in eclipse 3.5?
I'm not able to do this in the prefs gui, and I think the proxy I'm behind
only offers http/https (I get a java.net.SocketException: Malformed reply
from SOCKS server).

Thx,
Jens

"not about to do this in the prefs" ... you mean you can't find the
prefs, or when you change the SOCKS pref it does nothing?

The network connection prefs are in "Preferences>General>Network
Connections"

OK, in 3.4.2 I took "System proxy configuration" and it works. In 3.5,
(20090611-1022) using either the "native" or manual provider does not
work. My assumtion was that this comes from trying to use the given proxy
as a socks proxy (which I think is not possible for the proxy here).
So I was seeking a way of disabling the use of the socks proxy. But the
checkboxes in the "Network Connections" Preferences are only changeable by
the choose of an "Active provider".
Hope this makes it clearer...

Hi,

does a bug have been filled for this issue? I searched on bugzilla but
found nothing. If not, I will.
I have the same problem problem here: I can't connect anymore to internet
through my proxy in eclipse 3.5.

thanks,
Gildas

Hello,

I had the same pb with a proxy which refuse sockets, but It's work for me
now.
In Network Connections, with "Manual" for Active Provider, I can desactive
the SOCKS with the button "Clear" (the checkbox is always checked) but the
fields (Host, Port, Auth, User) are empty, and now, I can install new
software from network behind the proxy.

Hello,

we have the similar problem here..
No update sites found when behind a proxy ( the proxy here ).
Switching to manual and clearing the socks proxy didn't help.

I described our case here
http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/article.php?id=81774&g roup=eclipse.platform#81774

Regards
Ivan

I found a bug for this issue:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=281472

A hint in the bug description did the trick for me:

I had the same problem in Eclipse 3.7. We're behind a firewall. I had put proxy settings in for HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS, but couldn't download anything. When I removed the SOCKS proxy setting using the Clear button, it started working. This should be documented for the user in a more obvious spot than an obscure forum. No one except the developers of Eclipse know (or care) what SOCKS is. Bleah.
