reassign to core for evaluation reassigning, not sure if this one has been fixed in 6.1 already. OTOH, how do you expect that the IDE will recognize that you have wrong setting not just problem with the connection? I'll just clarify that I mean the settings have an incorrect username/password, but correct server/ports. i.e. I'd expect some sort of reply from the proxy server to say incorrect username/pass, as opposed to no reply from the server because we're attempting to connect to a bad address. I dare to say the responsibility for catching and resolving response from server is always on side of caller, e.g. Welcome page. The ProxySelector or java.net.Authenticator just returns proxy/username/password for what are asked for. The caller has to catch response from network and either quit connecting, or invoke the proxy settings customizer. The problem should be address to part of system what repeatedly uses incorrect Proxy settings. after reading this issue again I thing that it is more enhancement. jgnewell, could you identify when(in what cases) you would expect a response from IDE that user/password is wrong? Hello, I'd think the possibilities would be as follows: Recognized username + correct password = Good. Unrecognized username + [anything] = Stop and prompt "Incorrect username or password provided". Recognized username + incorrect password = Stop and prompt "Incorrect username or password provided". The bug being that NB doesn't stop and prompt the user for correct details if the credentials are incorrect and repeatedly attempts to use them (leading to an angry Proxy server). Thanks, |
