The Proxies screen under Settings should have these changes: 1. It seems to fail if you don't remember to include "http://" at the beginning of the URLs. Please add the http:// for the person if they have not included it! 2. There should be a "Test Connection" button on the Proxies screen to validate that the settings are correct.
Created attachment 788 [details] test proxy configuration button Just a couple of tiny comments: 1. 'http://' should be added once the user has finished typing in that field. We could do it once the offending input field has lost focus (i.e. the user has moved onto another field), or when the user clicks 'Save' in the dialog (whichever you are happier with or is easier). 2. The "Test connection" button should be right below the 'CVS' proxy field, left-aligned with the input fields. I've attached a screenshot: it's a bit rough, but hopefully conveys what I mean. In the screenshot, I've left 24 pixels between the last text field and the button. Any questions, let me know. Belen
