Re: [platform-update-dev] Re: [eclipse-dev] Proxy server access
|
Update simply uses 'Program.run' support from SWT to run the HTML file.
This request seems to be working on most platforms (although we had to
implement some hacks for UNIX platforms due to slightly different
behaviour). On Windows, this also picks the default browser so no further
setup is required.
There is no need to do any special proxy setup because we are launching the
default browser and it is presumably already configured to reach to the
Internet. The problem Christophe is having is different - he is opening a
programmatic HTTP connection using java.net APIs and these calls will not
work using the direct external URL if the user's machine is behind the
firewall.

Please respond to
platform-update-dev
Nobody has done this as far as I know. I'm interested in looking at
pushing down the ability to open a web browser, e.g. to open the extra
info (license) for features from the About dialog.
It would be logical to do the proxy setup here too.
How do Help and Update determine which browser to use? Does Update depend
on Help for this? Are there any other dependencies?

Subject: [eclipse-dev] Proxy server access
Hello all,
The Eclipse Update Manager will need a preference page where the user can
specify a proxy server and a port number. (and maybe a userid and a
password)
Before the team starts working on it...
1) has it been done by another team ?
2) which other team may need it ? (so we can work on a common set of API )
Please follow up on the update manager mailing list
Txs
Chris
