Proxy Authentication

[Rob Milton]

We have a client that uses a proxy that requires authentication and are experiencing the same problem as described in Issue #190.  We were using GetDown v1.8.2, but after reading the CHANGELOG we upgraded to v1.8.6.  However, the same error exists with this latest version.

I instructed the client to place a "proxy.txt" file with the host and port information in the expected format in the proper location for our application.  After adding the "proxy.txt" file GetDown is now reporting HTTP response code 407 for every resource.  This error indicates proxy authentication is required.

We cannot get GetDown's proxy dialog to appear in order to provide the proxy credentials.  So I have a couple of questions:

1. How can we get GetDown's proxy dialog to appear?
2. If we can't get the proxy dialog to appear what other method can we use to provide proxy credentials?

Thanks for any help with this,

Rob
