Hello
I am one of those having continuing problems with proxy server authentication. The environment is a Windows 7 PC behind Small Business Server 2003/ISA Server 2000. I am using Calibre 0.8.11
Despite having set Calibre to pass through ISA server (enabled for both domain & client, AND enabled locally on the PC) - which generally gets programs through - I still can't retrieve the metadata for books. Not surprisingly I get HTTP error 407: Proxy authentication required.
I have set the http_proxy environment variable and have tried changing it to use either just http://<proxy server>:<port>, or http://<user name>:<password>@<proxy server>:<port>, and even http://<domain>\<user>:<password>@<proxy server>:<port>. I still get the same error. HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet Settings/ProxyEnable is set to 1, and ProxyServer is set as expected.
Does anyone have any further suggestions, please? I see other people have managed to interact from behind ISA Server.
many thanks
