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