Description Panagiotis Korros CLA 2006-01-09 10:49:59 EST 
I tried to update eclipse using the update manager. I had to enter the username/password to access the proxy server too many times. I didn't counted but they were >50 many for my eclipse installation.

This makes eclipse update manager unsusable under this situation.

Checked teh code
UpdateManagerAuthenticator had more in 2.0 than 3.0
In 2.0 we were saving the uid/pwsd and we were returning it to the proxy without prompting user
In 3.0+ it does not do that, so if the server sends 407 back all the time, the user will be prompted all the time

Is there a reason why we removed the code ? or is it somewhere else ?

I believe we can close this with the new platform proxy level support.

Please try the 4/10/07 integration build.
