Description
Stefan Mising name
Stefan, are you talking about the case when you have Manual provider selected on both OSes? Also, what authentication is that (basic, digest, NTLM, NTLMv2)? Hi, I tried on both OSes the same network configuration (manual, direct and native connection) with and without the JVM parameters. I have no idea about the configuration, because I do not configure that at all in firefox neither in the Windows eclipse. I am not sure, if I can see that somewhere. The proxy itself is probaly a windows machine, but I am not sure about that either.
Sorry, that I can not provide you with more information! Thank you for the help!
Best regards
Hi,
I look at the http headers of firefox and it seems that it is a NTML proxy authentication. And as mentioned it works with windows eclispe but not with a linux eclipse.
Best regards
Hi,
after some more google work I found a workaround with the cntlm proxy. But this probably should be not the perfect solution.
Best regards
Stefan, what JRE do you use on the Linux machine? On this platform you should probably provide user name in a domain form and a password. On Windows credentials tried are these of the currently authenticated user. http://www.oaklandsoftware.com/product_http/compare.html I experience the same problem behind a proxy that I do not have power over. The following information has been produced by Wireshark. Client says: GET http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6/p2.index HTTP/1.1 Cache-Control: max-age=0 Accept-encoding: gzip User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1 Host: download.eclipse.org Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive Server says: HTTP/1.0 407 Proxy Authentication Required Server: squid/3.0.STABLE13 ... Proxy-Authenticate: Negotiate ... The client tries the same HTTP request as before (without any credentials) and gets the same response (surprise, surprise). -- Eclipse Version: 3.6.0 Build id: I20100608-0911 Windows XP I've got the same problem on a 64bits Ubuntu. Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers Version: Helios Release Build id: 20100617-1415 Note that problem occurs most of the time but, by closing re-opening Eclipse, it manages to pass the proxy some times... but I don't understand why.. By the way, even in the cases when Eclipse manages to pass the proxy, it seems that some update sites access fail with an "HTTP Proxy authentication Required". example : HTTP Proxy Authentication Required: http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/helios-site/content.xml Additional information : if I let the "Install new software" window run for a long time after having chose an udate site, it ends with the following error : Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/compositeContent.xml. Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/compositeContent.xml. Malformed reply from SOCKS server I experience too, the same problem behind a proxy on linux (on win its ok!). Even if Network connection is configured as Manual, the internal browser of eclipse uses direct connexion and not proxy one! I've installed eclipse on my home unix account on a Linux RH 5.5 platform. Best regards. +1 for eclipse on my home unix account on a Linux RHEL 5.5 platform. any fix for this issue? It is vexing one, keeping me troubled for weeks. My setup: OS: Ubuntu 11.x -- 64 bit Proxy: requires NTLM authentication Normal browsing using Firefox works fine. My options: - tried manual, direct and native - tried ntlm configuration in eclipse.ini as suggested here(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1500646/eclipse-3-5-unable-to-install-plugins) - tried with internal browser Nothing works. This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie. |
