Re: [eclipse.org-planning-council] ECF/p2 and Network Proxies

["Dr. Leif Geiger" <leif.geiger@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

just did some first testing:
- SOCKS and Https Proxy without authentication worked for me with 2023-12 M2.
- Sadly, Https Proxy with authentication (digest or basic auth) does not work with 2023-12 M2 (but does work with 2023-09).

I guess, Ed is right, and we have a severe problem here.

Regards,
Leif
