[geclipse-dev] any experiences with accessing S3 from behind a proxy?

[Ashish Thandavan <a.thandavan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

Do any of you have any experiences (+ve or otherwise) of accessing 
Amazon S3 services from g-Eclipse from behind a web proxy?

I have my standard http settings in Eclipse which work (which enable me 
to do stuff like download CA certificates from EU Grid PMA and other 
http related stuff) - see attached screengrab 'Picture1'.

When I try to setup a Grid connection to S3, I run into problems (see 
attached screengrab 'Picture2').

This happens on both EPP packages from this morning and the version in 
HEAD. My shell shows me the following messages:

---------
Mar 10, 2008 3:42:55 PM org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector 
processProxyAuthChallenge

WARNING: Response '/0C6V454S3ZAF1MC3A202/' - Unexpected response code 
407, expected 200

Does the httpclient take the proxy info from the Eclipse Preferences or 
does it expect to find it elsewhere?

Any suggestions?

Regards,
