Thanks for the answers. There are firewall-setups and firewalls-setups! And not every firewall-setup demands a proxy authentication for outgoing request as our Microsoft FW / proxy server demands. Our proxy likes to authenticate using primary a NTLM schema, but up on a prior request it also accepts a Basic authentication schema. AND It does not support Digest.
As with Jmol, we had the same issues with the ANT GET task command unless we use our own ant launcher which created an Authenticator object to pass username and password; Also svnkit had the same issue in the beginning, unable to establish an outgoing connection via proxy server without the following java switches: -Dhttp.proxyUser=C770817 -Dhttp.proxyPassword=password -Dhttp.proxyServer=ourproxyserver.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.auth.preference=Basic Many internet client allows to enter the first 4 parameters, but that is sometimes insufficient if the client does not support a negotiating authentication schema and is then allowed to pass username and password. So often it is also used to deliver a hint via Java to have the proxy server informed about the preferred authentication schema which joint with username and password would be Basic. The question I would have to Jmol developers is: which (apache) component is used to establish and maintain an outgoing http network connection? i.e. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/trunk Josef -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Angel Herráez [mailto:angel.herr...@uah.es] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 22.

After some days of waiting you should get the impression that no one has had needs or problems related to firewalls. You should not assume ignorance of "what a firewall is", but lack of experience with trouble in that while using Jmol. >From your description and attempts, I would say that your problem may well be a Java issue more than a Jmol issue. Maybe you can find other forums with more expert people in that area. Sorry we couldn't help you, and good luck. The Jmol community will be happy to learn from the outcome. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
