I am running my Pharo image from a USB stick and I am having problems connecting to the internet at work . I can't seem to find how to set the corporate http proxy username and password anywhere ...

I don't know about Pharo, and I don't use that fancy smanchy Preference browser, but in Squeak 3.10 you can execute: HttpSocket proxyUser: 'username' password: 'fish'. Replacing, of course, username and fish. Gulik. -- http://people.squeakfoundation.org/person/mikevdg http://gulik.pbwiki.com/

I am struggling in understanding Proxy settings (I am still very new here and I am now using the latest pharo0.1-10236dev09.02.2 image). I specified the httpProxyServer and httpProxyPort in the http proxy category in the preferences browser. Since the corporate proxy here requires everyone to authenticate, I also specified my username and password using: HTTPSocket proxyUser: 'myUsername' password: 'myPassword' in a Workspace. I am not really getting an error message, but when trying to do an system update for example I get a message saying that "all code update servers seem to be unavailable" and when trying to install refresh a list of packages from the network in the Universe (Basic) browser nothing happens? I did an "Inspect It" of HTTPSocket and I noticed it says "Proxy-Authorization: Basic"? When I type "InternetConfiguration useHTTPProxy" in my Workspace and do "Print It" I get "false"? I am sure I am doing something wrong here but can't seem to figure out what? On a side note, maybe the proxy settings in the preference browser should be in a category called "Network" rather then "http proxy" and be more in the standard format of: Network - No Proxy - Manual Proxy Configuration -- HTTP Proxy _____ Port __ -- Username ___ Password _____ (this is currently missing) - Automatic Proxy Configuration URL -- ___________ (this is missing too) Anyway, any help or advice is very much appreciated.
