Build Identifier: I20100608-0911 I am using the latest version (helios) of eclipse for C++ development. I have the same versions on a Windows XP 32Bit system and a 64 Bit OpenSuse Linux. I do not have direct access to internet, I have to use a proxy with authentication. The Windows XP system has no trouble with that configuration and I can access the update sites without any problem. But the Linux version has made some trouble. I tried different configurations, started with the same settings as in the Windows case. But I can not access the internet because the authentication is not working. I tried the manual, native an direct settings. For the direct setting I get as expected always a timeout. But for the other cases I always get the message "HTTP Proxy Authentication Required". More information on http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=rview&goto=543446#msg_543446 I was asked to enter it as bug, but I am not sure if it depends on the local company proxy (unkown type). Best regards Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set eclipse network settings similar to the firefox proxy settings 2. Try to connect to a update site 3. Failed with "HTTP Proxy Authentication Required"
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

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.
