I am struggling in understanding Proxy settings (I am still very new here and
I am now using the latest pharo0.1-10236dev09.02.2 image).  I specified the
httpProxyServer and httpProxyPort in the http proxy category in the
preferences browser.  Since the corporate proxy here requires everyone to
authenticate, I also specified my username and password using: HTTPSocket
proxyUser: 'myUsername' password: 'myPassword' in a Workspace.  I am not
really getting an error message, but when trying to do an system update for
example I get a message saying that "all code update servers seem to be
unavailable" and when trying to install refresh a list of packages from the
network in the Universe (Basic) browser nothing happens? 

I did an "Inspect It" of HTTPSocket and I noticed it says
"Proxy-Authorization: Basic"?  When I type "InternetConfiguration
useHTTPProxy" in my Workspace and do "Print It" I get "false"?  I am sure I
am doing something wrong here but can't seem to figure out what?

On a side note, maybe the proxy settings in the preference browser should be
in a category called "Network" rather then "http proxy" and be more in the
standard format of:

Network
- No Proxy
- Manual Proxy Configuration
    -- HTTP Proxy _____ Port __
    -- Username ___ Password _____ (this is currently missing)
- Automatic Proxy Configuration URL
    -- ___________ (this is missing too)

Anyway, any help or advice is very much appreciated.
