Hello,<br>
<br>
I am new to Squeak (but not OO programming), and reading the "Squeak by<br>
Example" book, but I can't figure out how to get Squeak to use a proxy that<br>
requires authentication. When at home, this is not a problem, but at my<br>
school, I can only access the Internet through an HTTP proxy, and it<br>
requires that each student enter his or her username and password. I've<br>
found where in Squeak I need to tell it what port to use, and the server<br>
name, but there's nothing there for a username or passkey. Is there a way<br>
to tell Squeak to authenticate itself as a particular user?<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>Hi Aidan.<br><br>Try this:<br><br>
HTTPSocket clearProxyUserPassword.<br>
HTTPSocket useProxyServerNamed: 'my.proxy.server' port: 80.<br>
HTTPSocket proxyUser: 'myUserID' password: 'myPassword'.<br><br>Also, you can manually download packages using a web browser and install them using Squeak's file browser. <br>
<br>If it doesn't work, email me back and I'll have a proper look this evening (NZ time).<br><br>Gulik (in Wellington).<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><a href="http://people.squeakfoundation.org/person/mikevdg">http://people.squeakfoundation.org/person/mikevdg</a><br>
