#10 Unable to authenticate with Proxy

I can not make my proxy settings work, in my work
environment. Every time I try to connect I get HTTP
error 502.
Since this error can be also about server overload I
tested the settings with a INCORRECT password, this
gave me the same error.

I have searched the forums and found that JEdit does
not support some types of proxy authentications. Please
fix this.

Thanks

PS: All that I know about the proxy server is that my
Firefox work (manual configuration done by me) and that
we have a ISA server (whatever that means).

PS2: If you need more info, please provide me with the
question I can get the answer from internal support.

Raising priority to get some attention (hopefully).
I know it is a clear abuse, but so is not even assigning
this error.

Thanks

You are right to say jEdit doesn't provided the ability to
authenticate with proxies.

I am moving this to the feature request tracker as this is
new functionality - not broken old functionality.

You can download plugins yourself from plugins.jedit.org.
Given this, I am reducing the priority - whilst
inconvenient, it shouldn't be stopping you do anything.

I have had the same problem behind corporate proxy servers
that use authentication. The NTLM Authorization Proxy Server
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/ntlmaps/) might work. I
tried it briefly today w/o success but will spend more time
later. I concur that fiddling with proxies/routing/firewalls
within such an environment is problematic.

Wouldn't another option be to have the Java Control Panel
Network Settings accept NTLM authentication?

We use an NTLM proxy at work and it works for jEdit, without specifying the username/password.
NTLM support has been improved in java since 2006, I think.
