[ecf-dev] ECF and equinox p2

[Pascal Rapicault <Pascal_Rapicault@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

As you guys know, equinox p2 (the replacement for update manager) has
decided to use ECF for its transports needs.
So far the experience has been great as the few problems we encountered
have been promptly fixed. Thank you!

However up to now we have only done simple things (http and file protocols)
but as p2 is getting closer to its first inclusion into the eclipse SDK
everyone in the team would appreciate if the ECF community could help us
ensure that some of the more advanced scenarios we are hoping to support in
the 3.4 are handled. Here are some of the things that we are after:
- Support proxy / socks (in conjonction with org.eclipse.core.net)
- Support for https
- Support for querying the user when authentication is necessary
- Real life setups for proxy / DNS lookups

Thanks in advance,

PaScaL
