RC and http proxy with authorization fails

[routeconverter]

Logging in using IE is not an option for me because IE has been deinstalled as far as possible from our business computers for security reasons.

So there is no iexplore.exe somewhere hidden on your machine? The COM components with the browser core cannot be removed as several Windows features are based on them.

Therefore, I even don't see a chance to configure anything about my proxy settings of IE, not mentioned logging in into the proxy.

You can always configure the proxy with regedit: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/819961

I'm not sure how the Java proxy settings are related to this (I guess they would affect the HTTP calls to the RouteCatalog server). And then there is the Eclipse SWT based browser component - dunno how that is affected.

There have been several users that have posted about HTTP proxies though.

But perhaps you are interested in the proxy-auth-problem.

Working around it would mean I had to give the user a possibility to login a security solution before loading the routeconverter.html for the map. And I'm simply too lazy to debug this as the startup is already quite complicated. If anyone is willing to make this possible: the source is open and I'm accepting patches.
