Re: [platform-update-dev] plugin proposal for the problem of proxy connections

Looks good,
I was just wondering if we should not drop the authentication from the
preference page as

1) we do not encrypt the password
2) we do not have a 'real' authenticator framework for now on, (i.e the
fist authenticator registered is the one) which means that if I try to
connect to a password protected site, the net access authenticator will be
used instead of the update/manager one...

What about just prompting the user all the time first ? and then we will
evolve it ?
org.eclipse.webdav apparently has a much more sophisticated
authentication...

second discussion point,  we should probably check the userid/password
against the realm instead of the protocol only, no ?

Chris

I just attached to bug 19258 a proposal of a plugin permitting
any eclipse plugin to pass proxies.
Feel free to test and comment.
