Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a proxy requiring authentication
2. Configure Internet Explorer to use it.
3. Configure eclipse to use native settings
4. Configure eclipse to use at least on update site
5. Ask for a "Check for updates"
Comment 1 Scott Lewis CLA 2012-02-01 10:23:53 EST 
Hi Philippe,

If I'm understanding the issue correctly, I think this is a bug with the Eclipse native proxy provider, rather than ECF.  The proxy API is developed and maintained by the Eclipse platform team, rather than ECF.  The ECF filetransfer code simply uses the proxy API (and providers).

So it might be best to move this bug to the Eclipse platform project.
Comment 2 Scott Lewis CLA 2015-07-24 18:58:51 EDT 
I think this is obsolete.  If not, please reopen and move to Platform project as suggested in comment 1 below.
