HTTP proxy with URL [message #221731] Mon, 16 July 2007 10:00 Go to next message

Hi,

I've just started a new job and am having trouble with the employer's HTTP
proxy. Rather than the proxy being a simple host name, it's a URL, like
"surf.fubar.org/proxy". This is what's being used successfully in Firefox
and IE. However Eclipse doesn't like it. I've tried using just the host
and the entire URL with no luck. Any ideas? Thanks.

Eclipse does not seem to support automatic proxy configuration via a URL.
A) please file an enhancement request in Bugzilla for that
B) as a work-around, you can visit that URL in a browser and look at the
resulting file. It should be pretty easy to determine the proxy server
host and port from the contents.

Hope this helps,
Eric

This worked perfectly. Thanks a bunch.
