#402 closed Defect

BOINC manager does not recognise HTTP_PROXY env. var content — at Version 1

Reported by: dontbugmepls Owned by: davea
Priority: Major Milestone: Undetermined
Component: Client - Daemon Version:
Keywords: http proxy authentication Cc:

Description (last modified by Nicolas)

If the HTTP_PROXY environment variable is set to something like http://domain\user:password@proxyip

the BOINC manager sets his proxy to domain\user. Please fix this ! It is very annoying to correct this under preferences, every time I start BOINC. It should set his proxy to the real address and auto-fill password and username if available from environment variable.

Hope this helps. Good work ! Keep doing this.

BOINC Manager doesn't do any network communication; it's just a GUI for the daemon; changing component. Also fixed some typos on description.
