Description Jaromir Uhrik 2004-12-15 11:09:54 UTC 
[trunk build #200412141900]
I see different behavior of new proxy dialog on
Mac OS X and WinXP. There are these differencies:
1.Proxy dialog contains values of proxy port and
host: 
Mac -Yes
Win -No
2.Connection with default proxy to update center
fails:
Mac -Yes
Win -No
This is very strange - Mac knows the proxy but is
not able to connect through it (Windows doesn't
know the proxy and connects successfully).

The behavior on linux seems to be same as on WinXP.

Comment 3 Jiri Rechtacek 2004-12-15 12:43:44 UTC 
It's UI misunderstanding, the fields Proxy Host/Port don't show the
proxy settings if the System Settings Proxy is set. It means these
values are not used when a connection is being made. Why it have been
working on Win and not on Mac? Win detects any system proxy setting
and uses it, Mac doesn't. Closed as WORKSFORME.

OK - verified.
