HTTP proxies

[Roger Eller]

I don't know if I would put myself into a position that *depends* on
RunRevs implementation of proxy authentication.  Even RunRev themselves
can't even get it working for their licensing system, so we have off-line
activation.  It has been this way since Revolution 1.1, (as long as I have
been using the product).  I do wish it were better.

Have you tried passing proxy authentication in the URL like
http://username:password@someserver.com/mypage.html?  You could save an
encrypted preference to populate it behind the scenes, or just store the
username, and always prompt for the proxy password.
